A candid look at the culture of women's prisons
Written by a journalist, this book depicts the day-to-day struggles and concerns of inmates at the Connecticut Correctional Institution in Niantic, the state's only prison for women. Built in 1917 as a work farm for prostitutes, unwed mothers, and other women of allegedly immoral character, "The Farm," as it is still called, has long served as a barometer of prevailing social attitudes toward women.
