Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; This book sets out to reflect on attempts to reform prison. The contributors explore the effects of punishment and penalty on women's lives, the impact of feminist reforms on the lives of women in prison and the systemic barriers which limit change. These essays question the role of prisons in our society, the importance of taking account of gender and its intersection with race and class, and the problems of both weak feminist models and the co-optation of feminist ideals and Aboriginal spirituality by correctional systems.
