Inhaltsangabe

A rich examination of the neglect and abuses occurring to women in correctional facilities, Women, Incarceration, and Human Rights Violations draws upon a wealth of case studies from around the world and class action law suits to shed light on 'covert' abuse such sexual or physical abuse, as well as 'overt' abuse such as the denial of medical treatment. Calling attention to the necessity of addressing the gender-specific needs of women who are incarcerated, this book offers a review of current policy, laws and regulation bearing on the issue, whilst providing concrete recommendations and policy changes to address abuses.
