WOMEN AND PRISON SYMPOSIUM & WORKSHOP


11 - 5pm  1st November 2018
Main Lecture Theatre,
Knights Park Campus,
Grange Road, Kingston University

Women and Prison brings together campaigners, activists, writers, artists, filmmakers and legal practitioners and academics working within the women’s sector around the criminal Justice system in building Social Justice not Criminal Justice. With the demise of support systems and resources within the women’s sector in the UK there has been a dramatic rise in women entering the criminal Justice system. This one-day of talks explores legal systems and regimes of discipline and punishment as well as the stories of prisons and individual lives. Presentations from individuals and organisations working in the sector will address issues around gender, racial and economic justice drawing on art, writing, photography and film. This one-day event will also focus on the recent closure of Holloway prison, the largest women’s prison in Western Europe, and the sites legacy both spatially and ideological, including the incarceration of the suffragettes from 1906-1914.



I am going to this research event today, organised by former UCA PhD research student 
Dr Judy Price
