Echoes of Imprisonment: Women's Experiences of “Successful (Re)integration”

Abstract: RésuméLes femmes qui sortent de prison continuent de faire face à des épreuves provenant de leur emprisonnement. Dans cet article, nous abordons les façons dont la prison, et par extension l'État, suivent les femmes à l'extérieur de la prison jusque dans leurs communautés. Tandis que l'État tente d'assurer une réintégration réussie des ex-prisonnières, ses politiques, reflétant un agenda néolibéral de responsabilisation individuelle, entravent possiblement les chances des femmes de réintégrer leurs communautés… Show more

“…Findings from this metasynthesis reiterate results from research regarding the postincarceration experiences of women. Numerous authors have noted the challenges women face related to housing, employment, di⁄cult family dynamics, stigmatization, dual diagnoses, and anxieties that hinder community reintegration (Moloney et al, 2009;Nijhawan et al, 2010;Prendergast, 2009;Shantz, Kilty, & Frigon, 2009). Results from this metasynthesis echo many of these challenges yet also reveal women's capacities for growth and change.…”

“…Lorsqu'un enfant enfreint la loi, les parents sont considérés comme incompétents et nombre de conjoints (conjointes surtout) de criminels sont considérés comme complices ou volontairement aveugles aux crimes de leur partenaire. En outre, dans une optique néolibérale, on observe de plus en plus la responsabilisation des prisonniers lorsqu'il est question de leur propre réhabilitation et réinsertion sociale (voir, par exemple, O'Malley, 1999 ;Shantz, Kilty et Frigon, 2009 ;Turnbull et Hannah-Moffatt, 2009). Au moment de la libération du parent, les familles deviennent impliquées en tant que facteur d'atténuation des risques instrumentalisé.…”

“…Ron Aday (2003) notes that many older female prisoners suffer from chronic health conditions, some of which stem from the poor diets, insufficient exercise, and detrimental mental health impacts associated with incarceration. These women face intersecting challenges based on their gender, age, abilities, and racial and class markers (see Shantz, Kilty, and Frigon 2009). Any one of these areas can constitute a disadvantage, causing women to face discrimination or criminalization.…”

“…Researchers have challenged the notion of "successful reintegration," arguing that the notion is misleading: many criminalized women lack social ties and were never truly integrated into their communities in the first place, making reintegration impossible (see Richie 2001;Maidment 2006;and Shantz, Kilty, and Frigon 2009). The idea of success is also contested.…”
