Invisible Women

What's Wrong With Women's Prisons?

About this book

Recreates the realities of prison life for a woman at the end of the twentieth century, as conditions worsen with overcrowding, staff shortages and expenditure cuts. This book describes the over-use of medication as a means of control; the plight of ethnic minority women, and the self-mutilation and suicide attempts of female prisoners.
