In \u003ci\u003eGender Bound\u003c\/i\u003e, Joss T. Greene investigates how and why California prisons have attempted to manage gender nonconformity over the past eighty years and how incarcerated people have responded in turn. Drawing on archival research, ethnographic observation, and 136 interviews with formerly incarcerated trans people as well as advocates, policymakers, and former prison staff, \u003ci\u003eGender Bound\u003c\/i\u003e offers new insight into the history of gender, the intersectional nature of punishment, and steadfast struggles for freedom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Deeply researched and brilliantly theorized\u003ci\u003e, Gender Bound\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the first historical accounts of gender nonconformity in the US penal system. Spanning several decades, it reveals how prisons redrew the boundaries of gender as they monitored and managed those under their control.
