| Summary |
This book examines the female criminals and the prison conditions and issues they must endure through the lens of a case study in the Karachi womens prison in Pakistan. With higher events of crime and poverty due to COVID-19, this volume considers the worsening conditions for women inmates as it relates to psychological trauma, access to resources, economic factors, and working against the cultural forces and criminal justice forces that contribute to the unstable state of womens prisons. Addressing a gap in literature about female inmates in South Asia and Pakistan this volume is ideal for researchers in feminist criminology, womens studies, prisoner psychology, and for law enforcement agencies |
