The ever-widening net of racialized and colonial carceral spaces and neoliberal strategies of control of poor and marginalized communities means that social workers are often in positions of complicity with or resistance to (or both) the norms and practices of the carceral state. Feminist praxis can both challenge and inadvertently sustain the prison industrial complex and its harms. Approaches that even tacitly accept some of the basic premises and discourses of correctional frameworks risk being co-opted and transmuted into racialized and colonial control practices. In this article, I use the example of Walls to Bridges Canada, a social justice iteration of the U.S.-based Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, to illustrate the power and significance of feminist praxis that privileges the epistemic vantage point of those who are incarcerated. This article will examine how collaborative work with criminalized and incarcerated women (in classrooms, research studies, and community work) moves beyond “giving voice,” to promoting leadership by those with lived experience and shared collaborative knowledge production.

被监禁妇女的变革性实践：协作、领导力和声音

不断扩大的种族和殖民监狱空间网络以及控制贫困和边缘化社区的新自由主义策略意味着社会工作者通常处于与监狱国家规范和实践共谋或抵制（或两者兼而有之）的位置。女权主义实践既可以挑战，也可以在无意中维持监狱工业综合体及其危害。甚至默认接受惩教框架的一些基本前提和话语的方法都有可能被吸收并转变为种族化和殖民控制的做法。在这篇文章中，我使用加拿大墙桥的例子，这是美国内部监狱交换计划的社会正义迭代，来说明女权主义实践的力量和意义，该实践赋予被监禁者的认知优势.
