Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this article I examine gender and violence in women’s prison. I use interview data to examine how women describe violence and coercion in prison relationships. Previous research on prison violence and gender (Donaldson 2001, 2003, Kupers 2001, Parenti 1999, Pinar 2001) focuses on men and masculinity. These studies detail how men create women in prison by feminizing fellow inmates. Donaldson (2003) outlined how heterosexual men cope with being raped in prison. In these relationships, the dominant male protects the weaker (i.e. feminized) male and demands oral and/or anal sex in return. Therefore there is a (gender) hierarchy in men’s prisons and examining sexual behaviors are important to understanding the gender divide. Yet women form lesbian relationships (Bowker 1977, Clark 1995, Forsyth et al. 2002, Hampton 1993, Leger 1987, Propper 1982) as a way to create a family structure. Scholars find that women need a strong social support system in prison (Toch 2002, Toch & Adams 1989) and maintain friendships while incarcerated (Chesney-Lind 2002, MacKenzie et al. 1989, Pollock 1998). However, I find that women engage in a variety of sexual relationships some of which are coercive and violent. Here, like their male counterparts, some women engage in protective pairing and dominate their girlfriends. This broadens our understanding about what Barrie Thorne (1997) calls crossing gender boundaries. I broaden this model by focusing on how inmates (men and women) divide gender and how this benefits men more so than women.
