在共产主义崩溃15年后,后苏联的俄罗斯仍然是一个“高监禁社会”,仅次于美国的相对监禁人数(每10万人口中有570人,而美国每10万人口中有714人)。因此,监狱人口总数约为80万人。这些人被关押在苏联时期建造的刑罚设施中,其中大多数位于周边地区。由于周边地区被选为“惩罚场所”,俄罗斯独特的“惩罚地理”使得囚犯难以保持社会联系,并破坏了降低俄罗斯累犯率的努力。妇女由于与大多数男性囚犯的关系而被吸引到监狱中,这一过程将她们转变为“准囚犯”,并复制了性别陈规定型观念。
Fifteen years after the collapse of communism, post-Soviet Russian remains a ‘high-imprisonment society’, second only to the USA in the relative number of people held in prison (570 per 100 000 population compared with the USA's 714 per 100 000). This gives a total prison population of around 800 000 people. These people are detained in penal facilities built during the Soviet era, the majority of which are in peripheral locations. Because the peripheries have been selected as ‘sites of punishment’, Russia's distinctive ‘geography of penality’ makes the maintenance of social contacts of prisoners difficult and undermines attempts to reduce the rates of recidivism in Russia. Women are drawn into the penal complex by virtue of their relationships with the majority male prisoner population, a process which transforms them into ‘quasi-prisoners’ and reproduces gender stereotypes.
