In-depth interviews with 29 female prisoners in the south-eastern United States show that older women both engage in generative behaviours, or 'giving back', in prison and also wish to do so upon their release. Winner of the American Society of Criminology Division on Feminist Criminology's Best Book Award 2025. Generativity or ‘giving back’ is regarded as a common life stage, occurring for many around middle age.
