'The womens voices included here are loud and proud. I loved reading this book it is powerful, empathic, real and raw, and a collection to be proud of.' Lucy Baldwin, Durham University 'These accounts and testimonies of women, supporting women, who are being held so far from their support network, their comforts and rituals, is a powerful and refreshing contribution to this academic and literature area of research into women within the criminal justice system. I would encourage practitioners working with women to learn from these real experiences and the roles women take in supporting each other.' Fiona Deacon, HMPPS Womens Group
'This book is an extraordinary, urgent and a deeply human collection. Through personal narratives, poetry and professional reflections, it brings to light the complex realities of criminalised womens lives - highlighting how relationships, solidarity and compassion shape their experiences and resilience. It challenges us to listen, to care, and most importantly, to act. I know this book will be a vital force for change, and it was an honour and privilege to read.' Nicola Harding, CEO, We Fight Fraud
