In the popular imagination, the female criminal/prisoner is a figure of curiosity and intrigue. Hidden behind male prisoners, partners in their lives and/or crimes, the female prisoner is made invisible, or she is memorialised a grotesque and demonic figure, one who has transgressed the legal, normative, and moral boundaries of social life. Women, Incarcerated pierces through this invisibilisation/memorialisation paradox to shine the spotlight squarely on the lived experiences of women prisoners.
