  • Transformative mothering on the inside

    Open AccessSheila Shankar, Gina Fedock et al.ARTICLESocial Problems2026

    Most incarcerated women in the United States are mothers of minor-age children, and many face dual involvement with the child welfare system. Maternal incarceration functions as a form of gendered and racialized social punishment which causes long-term harms for incarcerated mothers and children. However, critical feminist scholars have argued that mothering while incarcerated can be a contradictory experience: on the one hand, mothers experience…

    Dynamics of incarceration resemble power and control dynamics of intimate partner violence and constitute state violence.

We conducted semi-structured interviews with incarcerated mothers to explore their parenting experiences while in prison and analyzed their experiences through the …

  • Women's Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence While Incarcerated

    Open AccessRachel C Garthe, Gina Fedock et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2023References: 8

    While incarcerated, women may continue to experience intimate partner violence (IPV), perpetrated by partners who reside in the outside community. Power and control dynamics of abusive relationships may intensify as the abuser exploits their partners' incarceration. The current study assessed IPV experiences of 832 incarcerated women (50% white, 76% mothers), testing a novel instrument. Results validated a two-factor structure: (a) general abuse …

  • You Have to Take Care of Your Own Mental Status”

    Open AccessGina Fedock, Sheila Shankar et al.ARTICLEAffilia2023Cited by: 1References: 6

    Incarcerated women in the United States commonly experience prison-based mental health treatment. Feminist scholars stress the need to explore how incarcerated women exercise agency while navigating controlling treatment dynamics and how they experience these dynamics in relation to aspects of their selves (e.g., their thoughts and feelings). To explore these dynamics, we conducted semi-structured individual interviews with 42 incarcerated women …
