Malign neglect or benign respect: women's health care in a carceral setting

Article Abstract:

Examination of carceral conditions through the critical lens of the female inmate is done by conducting semi-structured interviews with jailed women. The availability and quality of health care in a detention center in Arizona is investigated, which indicate a contentious duality, exposing both heinous neglect and benign solicitude in the care delivered to jailed women.
