| Passing through the divide between prison and the so-called free world is a significant act of service and a form of critical resistance to the distortions and injustices perpetrated in today's carceral system. It is a carceral society whose prisons overflowed with an estimated 120,000 people awaiting trial on charges of genocide in the 1990s. Whether incarcerated during the nineteenth century at the predominantly male penitentiaries at Alton, Joliet or Chester, or in the separate Joliet Women's Prison during the progressive era, or in Illinois State Reformatory for Women at Dwight after 1930, Dodge explains that such class based notions of proper womanhood informed every aspect of women's carceral experience. |
