Summary |
"In a Box draws on the experiences of over one hundred Michigan women on probation or parole to analyze how the criminal justice system and neoliberal social policies hampered the state's efforts at gender-responsive reforms in community supervision. Closely narrating the stories of a diverse sample of six of these women, Merry Morash shows how countervailing influences kept reform-oriented probation and parole agents and women they supervise "in a box" by limiting and even blocking positive effects of supervision approaches that break away from the punitive frameworks that characterize many past and present correctional efforts. Inspired by the interviewees' reflections on their own experiences, the book concludes with recommendations for truly effective reforms within and outside the justice system"-- Provided by publisher |
