Discuss Barbara Owen's study on female inmates and her findings
What will be an ideal response?
Barbara Owen studied women in the world's largest female correctional facility. She found many differences between females and males in prison. She found that male prisons were more degrading and violent than female prisons. She also found that the phase of a woman's criminal record and the number of previous prison terms contribute to the prison experience. The female prisoners agreed that males show more solidarity than women. Owen also found that race is not as critical to the prison culture for women as for men. There were no formal gangs in the female prisons.
