About this book

This reprint of Assata Shakur's 1978 Black Scholar article critiques the incarceration of women at Riker's Island prison. Guard-Inmate and Butch-Femme relationships are carefully examined and compared with those between male inmates. Topics such as sex, race, class struggle, drugs, politics and capitalism are observed from the viewpoint of women of color.
