Index. Women in Prison takes a look at the multiple specificities that bring women into the prison system. Drawing on empirical sources and original research and relying primarily on interviews of women inmates this book explores the contexts of female crime and punishment in India and looks at gendered disciplinary mechanisms that are used to control women inmates.
