Mean Lives, Mean Laws: Oklahoma's Women Prisoners - Critical Issues in Crime and Society
Susan F. Sharp
Oklahoma has long held the dubious honour of having the highest female incarceration rate in the US. In this compelling new book, Susan Sharp sets out to discover just what has gone so wrong in the state - and what that might tell us about trends in female incarceration across the US. Mean Lives, Mean Laws exposes a Kafkaesque criminal justice system, one that has no problem with treating women as collateral damage in the War on Drugs or with stripping female prisoners of their parental rights.
