Women in Prison

Incarcerated women, just lite women everywhere, are human beings with real needs, wants, hopes, and desires. How they end up in prison, what crimes they commit, why they commit them, how they handle prison life, and what ways society can best help them-these are the issues addressed in this book. Using quotes from documented interviews, true accounts of prison experiences, and volumes of statistical information, Women in Prison provides a basic overview of the issues surrounding female inmates and the problems they face as they cope with life behind bars.
