註釋This book contains interview and photos of women incarcerated in Ohio Reformatory for Women. These women are as varied as those in society, and they cope with incarceration in different ways. They show hope, frustration, stubbornness, pride, and resignation through their candid and sometimes shocking stories. Some inmates tend to make trouble, others just want to do their time and get out, and still others are truly interested in learning practical skills and pursuing an education while imprisoned. Many come from abusive backgrounds. Most have children on the outside, many are single and their children have been taken away from them, and those who enter prison pregnant see their babies for only a few days before they are separated. Interviews with correctional staff provide insights on their frustrations in working with female inmates and their belief that no one approach will rehabilitate all offenders.
