Orange is the New Black" My year in a Women’s Prison
SOC 341 – THE SOCIOLOGY OF PUNISHMENT
In this paper, you will be analyzing a number of elements in the monograph of your choice. All of the possibilities given illustrate at least one aspect of prison life or our extended supervision systems. Some focus more on an individuals experience or description and some deal more explicitly with systemic issues, but all discuss any number of intersections After reading the book of your choice, please write a paper of 1,200-1,500 words incorporating the following:
-
Give a brief synopsis of the book. Include an introduction of the key players and relevant actors. This should be a short section. (25 points)
-
Situate the book into our course. How does it fit into a course on the sociology of punishment? To which themes or materials that we have covered does it relate? (25 points)
-
What does the book tell us about the particular system or institution discussed? (55 points)
-
What does it tell us about corrections and/or punishment more broadly? (55 points)
-
What larger societal questions did it raise for you? Briefly discuss two. (55 points)
-
The remainder of the grade will be determined by correct spelling, grammar, formatting, and appropriate citations. (35 points)
This paper should be written in essay form (rather than as a list of answers), with an introduction, body, and conclusion. Unlike our weekly response assignments, this is a formal paper, and, to that end, structure, flow, grammar, and spelling will be considered when grading. Please read through your papers before submitting and check all of these aspects carefully. I also encourage everyone to take advantage of the services offered at the Writing Center.
It is possible that you will reference other materials in the course of your analysis, although this is not strictly required. (Again, this will largely be dictated by your book and the specific points you choose to analyze.) If you do use other materials, even if they are ones we have covered in class, these must be cited both in the text and in a Bibliography/Works Cited page at the end. As previously discussed in class, any citation style is acceptable, as long as entries are correct, complete, and consistent. Please also make sure to include page numbers and have your name on every page.
