- Large type books, Women prisoners, Reformatories for women, Federal Correctional Institution (Danbury, Conn.)
This is a compelling, often hilarious, and unfailingly compassionate portrait of life inside a women's prison. With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, the author barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money ten years before.
