About the Book
In Imprisoned Mothers: The Impact of the War on Drugs by Renny Golden, the author examines the profound consequences of President Ronald Reagan’s War on Drugs campaign, particularly its role in the alarming rise in the incarceration rates of women. Golden highlights how this unintended consequence has led to the disintegration of families, especially for mothers who are now behind bars.
The book explores the specific risks and needs faced by incarcerated mothers and the children they leave behind. It also investigates the various challenges that communities encounter in supporting these families, whose lives have been dramatically altered by the policies that were originally intended to combat drug use.
Through insightful analysis, Golden sheds light on the social, psychological, and economic impact of mass incarceration on women, providing a comprehensive understanding of the unintended destruction of family structures as a result of the War on Drugs. This book is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of criminal justice, family dynamics, and social policy.
