{"product_id":"a-history-of-womens-prisons-susanna-menis-9781527541832","title":"A History of Women's Prisons in England: The Myth of Prisoner Reformation","description":"This book presents a revisionist prison history which brings to the forefront the relationship between gender and policy. It examines womenâ (TM)s prisons in England from the late 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century, drawing attention to the detrimental effect the orthodox closed prison has on penal reform. The text investigates the clash between what was conceptualised as desirable prison policy and the actual implementation and implications of such a penalty on the prisoner. It challenges previous claims made about the invisibility of women prisoners in historical penal policy, and provides an original analysis of the open prison, taking HMP Askham Grange as a case study, where the history of such an initiative is explored and debated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susanna Menis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527541835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527541832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Susanna Menis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518819053823,"sku":"9781527541832","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ddf59c0-8ce7-49e7-a536-b490fa997a5b.jpg?v=1778735766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-womens-prisons-susanna-menis-9781527541832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
