Gendered Human Rights and the Search for Safety --Appendix 1: Methodology --Appendix 2: Tables of Findings --Glossary --Bibliography --IndexIn Search of Safety takes a close look at the sources of gendered violence and conflict in women's prisons. The authors examine how intersectional inequalities and cumulative disadvantages are at the root of prison conflict and violence and mirror the women's pathways to prison. Women must negotiate these inequities by developing forms of prison capital-social, human, cultural, emotional, and economic-to ensure their safety while inside. The authors also analyze how conflict and subsequent violence result from human-rights violations inside the prison that occur within the gendered context of substandard prison conditions, inequalities of capital among those imprisoned, and relationships with correctional staff. In Search of Safety proposes a way forward-the implementation of international human-rights standards for U.S. prisons.Gender and justice (University of California Press)Women prisonersUnited StatesSocial conditionsPrisonsSocial aspectsUnited StatesWomen prisonersViolence againstUnited StatesElectronic books.Women prisonersSocial conditions.PrisonsSocial aspectsWomen prisonersViolence against365/.60820973Owen Barbara938135Pollock JoycelynWells JamesDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910156243103321In Search of Safety2566892UNINA
