Not surprisingly it is written from the perspective of male prisoners, but there is an attempt to include a female prisoner perspective and also accounts by families of prisoners. Also includes useful resources like a glossary and names of relevant organisation. Anyone who has anything to do with prisons but knows little about them would learn from this book. ( )
