N2  - "The Social Exclusion of Incarcerated Women with Cognitive Disabilities presents a theoretical and practical exploration of the links between social exclusion, cognitively disabled women, and incarceration, and how these intersect to create and perpetuate cycles of disadvantage and reoffending. Based on the lived experiences of cognitively disabled women incarcerated in Australian women's prisons, the book explores their lives pre-prison and in the prison setting, highlighting the presence of social exclusion prior to incarceration, which continues as they navigate the complexities of the criminal justice system (CJS) and the tightly regulated prison environment. Contributions from prison practitioners provide further evidence of the way in which institutional protocols reinforce the social exclusion of this group of women. In addition to formal acknowledgement of the needs of this prison population, the book argues for alternatives to current responses to cognitively disabled women, recommending ongoing interagency and community support that targets not only criminogenic needs, but the all-pervasive issue of social exclusion that characterizes their lives. The Social Exclusion of Incarcerated Women with Cognitive Disabilities will be of great interest to students and scholars of penology, criminal justice, criminology, disability studies, forensic psychology, and social work. It should also appeal to practitioners involved in criminal justice, the health sector, community services, disability support agencies, disability advocates, prisoner advocacy, women's studies and women's advocacy, and human rights activism"--
