Cries For Help: Women without a Voice, Women's Prisons in the 1970s, Myra Hindley and Her Contemporaries - Softcover
Synopsis
Cries for Help opens a window on the closed world of Holloway, other prisons and the lives of those held there in the 1970s. This was an era when personal style and charismatic leadership were all the rage, before the days of 'new management', when problem-solving meant staff relying on convention and initiative. The book follows the preoccupations of women prisoners, their anxieties and fears: a hidden segment of the population, lacking a voice, lost in a system designed for men that needed to change. They include murderers, prostitutes and those in prison from misplaced loyalty whose stories of survival, relationships, remedies and sometimes regret, are told through their own letters and conversations (including those of moors murderer Myra Hindley who the author supervised). 'I hope that [the prison] authorities in particular will read and reflect on her brutally honest, human and very relevant book': Lord David Ramsbotham Joanna Kozubska was as an assistant governor at Holloway Prison and other custodial establishments for women in the 1970s. She hit the news when borstal girls climbed onto the roof of Holloway demanding that she should not be transferred out and later 'escaped notice' after escorting Myra Hindley out of the gates of Holloway for a headline-making walk on Hampstead Heath. Illustrated by Graham Savage.

Paperback. Condition: New. Cries for Help opens a window on the closed world of Holloway, other women's prisons and the lives of those held there in the 1970s. This was an era when personal style and charismatic leadership was the order of the day for governors and prison officers, before ideas of 'new management', when problems were solved using personal initiatives. It catalogues the daily lives of women prisoners, their anxieties, fears and preoccupations. The book looks at a lost segment of the population, hundreds of women who were hidden from view, lacking a voice, part of a system for men that hardly knew what to do with them. It contains stories about murderers and other serious offenders and looks at their personal correspondence, including that of moors murderer Myra Hindley. Seller Inventory # LU-9781909976054

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
