But real prisons rarely fit the ?Big House? stereotype of popular film and literature. One fifth of all correctional officers are women, and the rate at which women are imprisoned is growing faster than that of men. Yet, despite increasing numbers of women prisoners and officers, ideas about prison life and prison work are sill dominated by an exaggerated image of men?s prisons where inmates supposedly struggle for physical dominance. In a rare comparative analysis of men?s and women?s prisons, Dana Britton identifies the factors that influence the gendering of the American workplace, a process that often leaves women in lower-paying jobs with less prestige and responsibility. In interviews with dozens of male and female officers in five prisons, Britton explains how gender shapes their day-to-day work experiences. Combining criminology, penology, and feminist theory, she offers a radical new argument for the persistence of gender inequality in prisons and other organizations. At Work in the Iron Cage demonstrates the importance of the prison as a site of gender relations as well as social control. 606 $aCorrectional personnel$xTraining of$zUnited States 606 $aCorrectional personnel$xOfficials and employees$zUnited States 606 $aPrisons$zUnited States 606 $aCriminal justice, Administration of$zUnited States 606 $aWomen correctional personnel$zUnited States 606 $aInmate guards$zUnited States 610 $aCage. 610 $aIron. 610 $aWork. 610 $acontrol. 610 $ademonstrates. 610 $agender. 610 $aimportance. 610 $aprison. 610 $arelations. 610 $asite. 610 $asocial. 610 $awell. 615 0$aCorrectional personnel$xTraining of 615 0$aCorrectional personnel$xOfficials and employees 615 0$aPrisons 615 0$aCriminal justice, Administration of 615 0$aWomen correctional personnel 615 0$aInmate guards 676 $a365/.023/73 700 $aBritton$b Dana M.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01710924 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820289903321 996 $aAt Work in the Iron Cage$94101880 997 $aUNINA
