“…Following the tradition of feminist scholars whose research intentionally incorporates women’s firsthand accounts of imprisonment (e.g., Pollack, 2009, 2016), I interviewed five formerly incarcerated women about their experiences of being strip searched. It is important to center the voices of women who have experienced being strip searched in prison as the dominant patriarchal societal and correctional discourses marginalize and suppress women’s voices (Kilty, 2014).…”

“It’s Sexual Assault. It’s Barbaric”: Strip Searching in Women’s Prisons as State-Inflicted Sexual Assault

Rationale: In the era of the #MeToo movement, sexual assault has emerged from the shadows to become a dominant topic of public and scholarly conversation. Yet women in prison have largely been left out of these conversations, particularly as it relates to their experiences of being strip searched. Method: Five cisgender women were interviewed about their experiences being strip searched while imprisoned in Canada. Findings: Findings demonstrate that strip searching is a form of sexual assault. Women were unable to say “no” to being strip searched due to power imbalances and fear of serious consequences. Experiences of prior sexual victimization made being strip searched particularly harmful. Discussion: This study shows that structural violence occurring behind prison walls is a replication of structural violence occurring in the community. That strip-searching policies and practices are developed and implemented by the state necessarily means it is state-inflicted sexual assault. I theorize that strip searching is not understood as sexual assault because imprisoned women are relegated to a class of subhumanness for which humane treatment is not required. Implications: Implications for reducing the harms of strip searching are discussed, aimed at moving toward the abolishment of strip searching as a practice in women’s prisons.

This study aims to determine the effect of learning models and spatial intelligence on mathematics learning outcomes. The learning model given in the experimental class is an integrative learning model which aims to support students to develop a systematic knowledge, while the model applied in the control class is a direct learning model. The research was conducted in Senior High School of State 6 Kendari within 6-time meeting. The data was obtained through the test is given to 48 students using the quasiexperimental method designed by level 2x2. The data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that: The learning outcomes of students taught by the integrative model were higher than those who were taught by direct learning model; There is an influence of interaction between the learning model and spatial intelligence to the learning outcomes; The learning outcomes of students having high spatial intelligence and taught with integrative learning model was higher than students taught by direct learning; and The learning outcomes of students having low spatial intelligence and taught by integrative learning models were lower than students taught by direct learning. This study suggests that the learning model and spatial intelligence may improve learning outcomes.

“…A qualitative research framework using in-depth interviews as a method for data collection was utilised in the larger research project (Pollack, 2016). The in-depth interviews were crucial in providing agency and an opportunity for women to share their lived experiences in negotiating the maximum-security offender identity.…”

Negotiating the Maximum-Security Offender Identity: Experiences From Incarcerated Women

The representation of women classified as maximum-security offenders continues to be a challenge due to paucity of research regarding their experiences. Generally, their stories are masked under the experiences of the other categories of incarcerated women. Drawing from a larger study conducted with incarcerated women in a South African correctional centre in Johannesburg, in this article I provide a thematic analysis of in-depth interviews on the lived experiences of negotiating the maximum-security offender identity by 13 women. The results suggest that the maximum-security offender identity is associated with rejection, dehumanisation, denial of agency, restricted movement, and labelling. The article also highlights the significance of providing agency to incarcerated women in deconstructing stereotypes that represent them as angry and uneducated with no value to society. A more balanced repositioning of their stories emerges as they get an opportunity to construct their own experiences.
