An honest and sensative book

This book offers an honest and sensative look at real human beings and their lives. Without getting overly romantic about their situation in prison, it yields a soft picture of a side of society we too easily forget, avoid or misunderstand. It expands your vision of the world and therefore is very much worth reading.

Thought-provoking and honest

After having purchased, "Couldn't Keep It to Myself," by Wally Lamb and having enjoyed it immensely, I moved on to this collection of stories. I loved the honest protrayal of the women who are both incarcerated and in charge of the ward. The journalistic tone of this book certainly conveys the very humanity of these women, and that is something that I think we often don't consider when thinking of criminals. Certainly this is a heavier read than what most would choose for bedtime enjoyment, but it is a substantial work that deserves time and attention. I highly recommend Rierden's book to anyone.
