It will crush you like a bug’
Over the last three decades, the number of children experiencing the incarceration of one or both parents has grown dramatically. Although the children of prisoners are not under legal sanction, they are nonetheless indirectly subject to the coercive apparatus of the state by virtue of their parent’s status and they are directly subject to this apparatus during their visits to correctional facilities. In this ethnographic study of a mother–child …
The Second Coming
Over the course of the last two decades, drug treatment programming has become increasingly privatized in the U.S. correctional system. Drug treatment and related rehabilitative and reentry services are a multibillion dollar (USD) a year industry. In this article, I trace the origin of this transformation to an unlikely source: women’s prisons during the War on Drugs. Correctional facilities for women provided a useful testing ground for new mode…
Judging Addicts
The Gender of Criminal Opportunity
Women commit less crime than men and their crimes are typically less serious, violent, and profitable. Most investigations of this “gender gap” in offending consider differences in social control or socialization. This helps explain overall crime participation disparities, but cannot account for the sex-segregated character of offending. Building on ethnographic research and feminist labor market analyses, our study explores how gender affects ac…
The Politics of Imprisonment
Are You an African?' The Politics of Self-Construction in Status-Based Social Movements
Current debates over identity politics hinge on the question of whether status-based social movements encourage parochialism and self-interest or create possibilities for mutual recognition across lines of difference. Our article explores this question through comparative, ethnographic study of two racially progressive social movements, "pro-black" abolitionism and "conscious" hip hop. We argue that status-based social movements not only enable c…

What Difference Does Difference Make? Position and Privilege in the Field
Embodied Surveillance And The Gendering Of Punishment
This ethnography explores the enactment of "get tough" politics in a state prison for women and considers whether the implementation of seemingly gender-neutral programs and policies implies that women's prisons are no longer operating as "gendered organizations." The author will demonstrate that even when women's prisons attempt to mimic the disciplinary policies associated with men's facilities, they modify disciplinary practices in response to…
Race to Incarcerate
Use of Health Care Services in a Sample of Drug-Involved Offenders
There is evidence to suggest that drug-involved offenders are more likely to have chronic health problems, which would lead to the expectation that this group would be consumers of a disproportionate amount of health care services. However, other characteristics of the group, including higher rates of unemployment and less likelihood of health insurance, suggest that they may consume relatively low amounts of health services. This study reports o…
Going to the Crackhouse
This article explores the extent to which organizational identity claims and the formal organization of social control influence how actors in a total institution conceptualize their 'real' selves. The setting for this case study is Project Rehabilitate Women, a drug treatment program serving incarcerated female offenders. Using Goffman's analysis of the total institution as a guide, I explore the importance of 'secondary adjustments' for self-de…
