- Description
- The number of men in American prisons has doubled in the past 20 years: the number of women incarcerated in the U.S.—now approaching a million—has quintupled during the same period. Journalist Rathbone fought in the courts for years to secure access to these women, and her passion and tenacity are on display in this clear-eyed account of life inside Massachusetts's MCI-Framingham, the oldest women's prison in the country. The numbing sameness of women's crimes—nonviolent offenses, mostly drug-related, make up three-fourths of female convictions—is transcended by Rathbone's focus on a handful of individual stories, The book avoids the temptation to frame these women as mere passive victims of a system or culture gone awry, although Rathbone does not hesitate to expose inefficiency, thoughtlessness and even abuse at all levels of the correctional bureaucracy. Poor psychological care, mandatory sentencing laws and institutionalized sexual exploitation also come in for heavy, thoughtful criticism.
