Being chained and love? Women Hair

When we hear "jail", one thinks first "men" and "violence" often "sexuality" and "escape its soap". You get the idea. Obviously there women prisoners (3% in France) and they may also have a better sex in prison.


According Gwénola Ricordeau , "(t) he reasons for the invisibility of women prisoners (...) And their sexuality are certainly to be found in common representations of women's sexuality, but also of sexual identity and gender relations that reduce women - even more in than out - to mothers or wives. "




In his article Sexualities Women in prison: practices, discourses and representations , Ricordeau talking about little research has been conducted primarily on women and more on their sexual taboo. It makes certain assumptions about this situation. It therefore performs a series of interviews with men and women imprisoned es on the issue of female sexuality in prison.

It explores several aspects of female sexuality and its repression in prison, but also gendered conceptions which are at work in the medium. It includes data on female homosexuality, the perceptions of female desire against the male desire with testimony in support. "The frustration, it must be harder for women. Us, we handle the widow was the porn. [...] I was said that if, as a man, you women, you get raped! (Renald, Clairvaux).


An interesting example regarding the roles and stereotypes male / female: a French experiment called Family Life Unit (UVF) guarantees a place to meet his relatives in privacy for inmate-es. Whereas for men, this place is considered a "sexual or intimate parlor" for women it is a place to maintain the bond of mothers with their children. So with the prison "we punish people by the deprivation of women (and thus sexuality), (and) we would punish the women by depriving them of their children or the ability to procreate. "



It talks about" safe sex ":

" If in most institutions, access to condoms is possible, female condoms (Femidon) are unusually distributed them. In addition, the policy of preventing transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and infections, although imperfect, conducted in men's prisons, has no equivalent in women's detention. According to a persistent prejudice, sex lesbians would be immune from contamination. "

The author finally deals with the relations of the detained staff supervisor of the opposite sex, assaults and sexual power relations between inmates.

I did given that some bits of this article very interesting. I urge you to read in full!
