O knihe

A compelling, true life account of her time working in this famous north-London prison. Hilary Beauchamp 'lifts the lid' on life inside, making the book a must for students of women's imprisonment or prison education. A unique and telling insight into life in a claustrophobic and sometimes violent atmosphere. An ideal primer on women's issues within the penal system. With 8 colour pages of original artwork.

'With many of its pages taken up with the contradictory, unexpected events that Beauchamp witnessed-at once fascinating, bizarre and heart-wrenching-the book is an amalgam of personal interactions bound together by a graphic texture that conveys the look, feel, smell and sound of the prison-a place where every seemingly random noise translates into a meaning': Current Issues in Criminal Justice (published by the Institute of Criminology, Sydney Law School).
'A rich and detailed reading in the under-researched and as a consequence still highly under-published, area of female offending and prisonisation': Punishment and Society.
'This book should be read by every taxpayer in the country because it shines a light on what is often a dark place': Inside Time
'A very interesting and worthwhile contribution to this particular field of study. I found that I couldnt put this book down for its interesting content': Sam Poyser, Canterbury Christcurch University
