The intersectionality of gender, race, and crime remains a critical area of focus within criminal justice research. Analyzing scholarly sources provides an understanding of how systemic inequalities and societal stereotypes influence criminal justice policies, law enforcement practices, and the treatment of marginalized groups. This paper synthesizes 15 scholarly articles, highlighting themes such as the living conditions of incarcerated women, health disparities, reproductive rights, gender-affirming healthcare, and the socio-economic stressors faced by women of color in the criminal justice system. The selected research emphasizes qualitative and quantitative methodologies, offering comprehensive insights into the lived experiences of these populations and the structural factors underpinning their marginalization. By critically evaluating the authority of the authors, their research contexts, and contrasting perspectives, this bibliography seeks to underpin an in-depth analysis of how gender and race shape crime policies and outcomes, informing more equitable practices and reforms in criminal justice.

Alves, Joana; Maia, Angela; Teixeira, Filipa. (2016). Health conditions prior to imprisonment and the impact of prison on health: Views of detained women. Qualitative Health Research, 26(6), 789-799. This qualitative study explores health disparities among incarcerated women, emphasizing how health inequalities are compounded by incarceration. The authors, with backgrounds in public health and social sciences, conduct semi-structured interviews with detained women to understand their health conditions before and during imprisonment. The research reveals significant issues such as chronic illnesses, mental health challenges, and inadequate access to healthcare services, highlighting systemic failures. The article is valuable for understanding health equity within the criminal justice context and the influence of gendered health issues. The authors’ expertise in health research lends credibility, and the focus on women detainees addresses a major gap in criminal justice literature.

Harner, Holly M.; Wyant, Brian R.; Da Silva, Fernanda. (2017). Prison ain’t free like everyone thinks’: Financial stressors faced by incarcerated women. Sage Publications, PsycINFO. This research paper examines economic challenges faced by incarcerated women, emphasizing financial stressors that influence their mental health and reentry prospects. Using qualitative interviews and financial assessments, the authors analyze how poverty, debt, and inadequate prison resources impact women’s well-being. Notably, the study emphasizes the gendered economic pressures that hinder successful reintegration and disproportionately affect women of color. The authors, with backgrounds in social work and psychology, articulate the systemic barriers rooted in socio-economic inequality. Their findings suggest that addressing financial stressors is critical for reforming criminal justice policies to foster better social support systems for incarcerated women.

This comprehensive review consolidates research on healthcare experiences among women in prisons. The authors, experienced in nursing and public health, analyze themes such as access, quality, and the impact of healthcare disparities on women of color, transgender women, and women with mental health issues. The review highlights systemic deficiencies and calls for policy reforms to ensure gender- and race-sensitive healthcare standards. The authors’ authoritative backgrounds in nursing lend credibility, and the synthesis offers valuable insights into improving health outcomes for marginalized incarcerated women.
