Describes life inside the world's largest women's prison, from the point of view of the women themselves.

The first book-length treatment of the nature of prison culture among women in thirty years, In the Mix describes the prison culture in a large California prison, from the point of view of the women themselves. Based on three years of study, including participant-observation, in-depth interviews and surveys, this book describes the daily life of the prison from a variety of perspectives, with an emphasis on the gendered nature of its social organization, roles and normative frameworks.
