Women's experience of imprisonment is forbidden, taboo and 'shameful', something not to be talked about at all; unlike men's, it cannot even be wrapped in a dubious aura of criminal romance. To most people, women who have been behind the barbed wire are branded for ever, no matter how they got there or what they went through. Drawing on her own experience, the author sets out to show that world without the lens of stereotype.
