Abstract (summary)

The study connects two powerful systems–religion and the prison system through the lens of gender inequality to explain how these systems reflect and reproduce social inequalities, particularly for women and marginalized communities. Religion means different things to different people, and it plays a powerful role in shaping beliefs, values, social norms, and even political systems. While it can foster identity and unity, it has also been used to control, govern, and divide.
