Imprisoned Body


Overview

Based on a decade of research on the health of women prisoners both in the U.K. and U.S., this book is built around the notion that imprisonment is disadvantageous to good health. While the focus is on women's imprisonment, themes in this book also sit within a broader social context, questioning whether healthy womanhood is possible, given the constraints and contradictions experienced by women in their day-to-day lives and examining the problem of the routine medicalization of ordinary distress.
