Negative Positive
Title: Well Researched And Informative
Review: A look at women in prison, this book describes in detail the inhumane psychological conditions in which most incarcerated people have to live. There are few surprises here -- it is nor secret that prisons to nothing to deter crime in the least -- quite the opposite, in fact -- and that most people who are incarcerated could be much more effectively rehabilitated using other means, except for the minority of violent offenders. Although the author gives an accurate and detailed description of prisons as they really are, I doubt if anyone will take notice since she does not go to much trouble to give any reasonable alternatives. An excellent study in one of the most atavistic practices of the modern era.
