Review: No Safe Haven by Lori B. Girshick. 04/22/2017

I should have realized that a book of this subject matter which, was published back in 1999 would be out-dated. However, I was thinking that it had the women’s emotions, what placed them there, how did they survive and details of where they come from. There was very little on the women prisoners.

Most of the book was based on percentages, statistic’s, that many states keep in files for research purposes. If I was researching I would show more have read a book more updated. I don’t even think I would of read this type of book back in 1999 with graphs, charts, and percentages of how and why many ethnic groups ended up in prison. I don’t dwell on the type of life they come from I would have liked to read about the stories and emotions within their inner self. I was taught not to judge a person by it’s cover and look beyond that and know the person within…I felt the book was misleading….The author claims of interviewing forty women. If she did then where are their stories?? I felt she just placed them in groups and labeled them with a percentage…. show less
