Critical Approaches to Gender-Sensitive Policies in Prison Systems (I)
Thu, September 4, 8:00 to 9:15am, Deree | Classrooms, DC 703Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel
Abstract
Over time, growing global attention to the situation of incarcerated women has led to the proliferation of gender-sensitive policies and programs within the criminal justice system. However, analyses of these initiatives often lack a critical perspective—one that interrogates the underlying conceptions of gender equality, the inherently heteropatriarchal nature of prisons, and the paradoxes that arise when pursuing empowerment and feminist transformative goals within prison settings, among other key issues. The two panels proposed under this topic will critically examine gender-sensitive policies and programs in prison systems across different countries.
