'This book fills a major gap in the literature on two counts: it is about women prisoners and it is about their entitlement to proper health care. The editors have gathered a knowledgeable and experienced group of experts from around the world to contribute chapters on key issues on this topic. This volume is likely to become a classic reference text.' From the Foreword by Andrew Coyle Incarceration severely affects the health and wellbeing of women both during their incarceration and following release further complicating the health disparities they already experience as a consequence of gender race and social class. The scope of this international problem remains largely hidden from health professionals and policy makers. This book brings the issues into the light with contributions from leading advocates criminologists feminists nurses physicians public health professionals social workers sociologists and former prisoners.
