"Incarcerated women" is a book category that centers on the lives, systems, and stories of women who are confined in jails, prisons, detention centers or other carceral settings. It includes memoirs, investigative nonfiction, legal and policy analysis, and fiction that explore themes such as criminalization, trauma, addiction, mental health, motherhood and family separation, survival strategies, solidarity and resistance, reentry and recidivism, and the gendered effects of punishment. Works in this category frequently examine intersectional issues of race, class, sexuality and disability, and critique institutional practices and social inequalities while also portraying individual resilience and complexity. Tone ranges from investigative and journalistic to intimate and literary, and readers should be aware that many titles contain depictions of violence, abuse and other potentially triggering material.
