The Dr. Regina White Benedict Scholarship at Maryville College was established in 2022 to support students of criminal justice, especially non-traditional women working toward their college degree at Maryville. Lois Presser is Professor of Sociology at the University of Tennessee. Beth Easterling is Visiting Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at Roanoke College.
"""Finally placing aging women inmates at the forefront of the conversation on growing old in prison, this book provides an excellent analysis of the experiences of giving back while incarcerated."" Jennifer A. Schlosser, Coastal Carolina University ""Capturing day-to-day struggles, this book fills an important void as it examines women's search for positive prison experiences. It contributes significantly to our understanding of prison life for women, especially with the recent emphasis on successful aging in prison."" Ronald H. Aday, Middle Tennessee State University"
