Community Re-Entry

Community Re-entry provides a rare opportunity to hear directly from women who have spent time in a Canadian federal penitentiary. Based on more than a decade of engagement with women in prison, the authors gathered rich and personal information on women’s lived experiences during incarceration and what they anticipated and hoped for on release. This book relates their narratives and the authors‘ critical analysis of their experiences both within and outside prison, shedding light on the challenges incarcerated women face as they return to the community. This unique perspective will appeal to students, academics, community-based advocates and activists.
