This article addresses the unintended consequences of using house arrest for female offenders as an alternative to prison for drug-related crimes. We propose that in patriarchal societies, locking women at home could imply moving them to another control device that may be as harmful as prison. Thereby, house arrest creates an unintended effect in which domestication in traditional gender roles ends up being the primary target of female offender punishment.

锁在家中：对因涉嫌毒品犯罪而被判处有期徒刑的妇女的软禁：对家庭拘禁的批评

本文讨论了将女犯软禁作为毒品相关犯罪的监狱替代品所带来的意想不到的后果。我们建议，在父权制社会中，将妇女锁在家中可能意味着将其转移到另一个可能与监狱一样有害的控制装置上。因此，软禁会产生意想不到的效果，传统性别角色的驯化最终成为女性罪犯惩罚的主要对象。
