51. Women and Imprisonment in the u.s.
- www.prisonactivist.org
- prisons -- issues -- women -- women and imprisonment Women and Imprisonment in the u. ...
- Assata Shakur, 1972 These people in this judicial system, their concern is not for justice, as they claim. ...
- Prisons serve the same purpose for women as they do for men; they are instruments of social control. However, the imprisonment of women, as well as all the other aspects of our lives, takes place against a backdrop of patriarchal relationships. We refer here to Gerda Lerner's definition of patriarchy: "the manifestation and institutionalization of male dominance over women and children in the family and the extension of male dominance over women in society in general. It implies that men hold power in all the important institutions of society and that women are deprived of access to such power. "1 Therefore, the imprisonment of women in the U. ... has always been a different phenomenon than that for men; the proportion of women in prison has always differed from that of men; women have traditionally been sent to prison for different reasons; and once in prison, they endure different conditions of incarceration. Women's "crimes" have often had a sexual definition and been rooted in the patriarchal double standard. Furthermore, the nature of women's imprisonment reflects the position of women in society. ...
- In an effort to examine these issues further, this essay explores how prisons have historically served to enforce and reinforce women's traditional roles, to foster dependency and passivity, bearing in mind that it is not just incarcerated women who are affected. Rather, the social stigma and conditions of incarceration serve as a warning to women to stay within the "proper female sphere. " Needless to say this warning is not issued equally to women of all nationalities and classes. For this reason, our analysis will also take into account the centrality of race in determining female prison populations, both in the North and the South and pre- and post-Civil War. We believe that white supremacy alters the way that gender impacts on white women and women of color. The final avenue of exploration of this chapter will thus concern the relationship between race and women's imprisonment. We will attempt to show that the history of the imprisonment of women is consistent with Audre Lorde's comment that in "a patriarchal power system where white skin privilege is a major prop, the entrapments used to neutralize Black women and white women are not the same. ...

- As a result of this exchange and a growing awareness within the political circles in which I moved of the structural role of the penal system in reproducing criminality, I joined with political forces calling for the abolition of jails and prisons. ...
- In 1971, in If They Come in the Morning -- a book put together while I was in jail -- I called for people to think about what it would mean to live in a society without jails and prisons. ... You probably saw the headline on the cover of Time magazine for February 6, 1994, "Lock 'Em Up and Throw Away the Key. ...
- "What happens if there are no jails and prisons? All the criminals are gonna break into our houses!" True, we get such responses, but I want to try to begin to make a serious case for the abolition of jails and prisons.
- It is an academic research project that I focused on while at the University of California's Humanities Research Institute, collaborating in part with a female colleague, Kumkum Bagnan. Secondly, it has the dimension of a policy intervention; this involves convincing some progressive legislators in the State of California to consider legislation on alternatives to incarceration, particularly for women. ...
- Kumkum Bagnan and I interviewed 35 women in the San Francisco County Jail. Before I talk about these interviews, I want to comment on some recent studies on women in prison. Then I will discuss how the women we interviewed think about their own situation -- i. ... This is really a burning issue, particularly since young women are often criminalized in connection with issues of sexuality, whereas young men are criminalized in connection with issues of violence. And finally, I will try to convey a sense of the ways in which the women we interviewed imagine alternatives to incarceration. Our aim is to develop legislation based on the information that the women provided in the interviews. This legislation would not simply be about a group of women who happen to be in jail or prison at a given time, but would reflect their own intervention into the debate. ...
- I have re-read Foucault, this time very specifically for what he wrote about prisons and perhaps less for what he wrote about the production of knowledge and power. Foucault makes three points that we should keep in mind in the context of the present proliferation of jails and prisons and uncontested calls for more money for the prison system -- more and more billions of dollars being requested to build more jails and prisons because the jails and prisons that have already been built have not solved the problem of crime. ... Second, prison produces delinquents; prison is responsible for the construction of crime and criminality. ... For example, when most people get released from prison in California, they receive $200. ...

56. Candace Kruttschnitt Transcript

- Women's Responses to Prison.
- A: Ok, several years ago, Rosemary Gartner and I were talking about working on a project together, and we were discussing David Ward's original study of the California Institute for Women, which I'll call CIW, in Frontera, California. That study was done in 1965, and it was the first study anyone had ever done of a women's prison, to try to determine, there was a lot of research at that time on men's prisons, how men do time, how they get along with each other, but nobody had looked at women's. He happened to be at UCLA at that point and studying the men's facility in southern California, and he and his colleague, Gene Kassebaum thought it would be interesting to go up the road, since the women's facility was right there, and see if the same kinds of factors affected the way that women do time and whether they did time differently than men. Subsequently, he published a book, and it became extremely famous because it was the only work that had been done on the women's facility. ... You could imagine that over the course of 35, almost 40 years, given the types of changes that have occurred for women in terms of their social roles, their opportunities, that the way they do time today is very different than the way that they have in the past. On the other hand, if you believe Goffman's right, that total institutions exert an effect on individuals, you might expect that it doesn't matter what's happened in society at large, that once you put someone at a total institution, the way they do time is going to be exactly the same. So we went out and did a preliminary visit at the prison, and talked to them about their interest in having us replicate the study, and at that time, people kept talking about the new facilities that had been built in California, that the time Ward and Kassebaum did their research, there was this one and only one prison. It held 800 women. Subsequently, there are now five prisons in California, the newest having been built in the Central Valley in Chowchilla. CCFW (California Correctional Facility for Women) and across the street, Valley State prison. Valley state prison opened in April of 1995, designed to house 2800 women, but current capacity is about 3900.
- A: It played a big role because we basically started with probably the central theories in penology, one of which is "functionalist theory," from which Goffman was working, that says basically how inmates do time is a function of being in a total institution. An offshoot of that, which is "situational-functionalist perspective," which basically argues that it's not just being in the total institution, but it's the characteristics of the institution. So for example, some institutions are more coercive, and have a worse environment than other institutions, so you'd expect that inmates' behavior would vary according to that. And a third perspective is the "importation model," which says that neither the characteristics of the institution itself, or just being in an institution is important, but it's really what the inmates bring in with them, what their prior experiences have been, whether they've been incarcerated before, what their family life was like, whether they get contact from the outside, those kinds of characteristics they bring in with them will influence how they do time. ...
