Descripción
Sumario:'This timely, carefully researched and disturbing book emphasises the need for the government to take urgent action to provide for the distinct needs of all women who become subject to the Criminal Justice System. Imprisonment accelerates the process of ageing. Azrini Wahidin's description of the lack of humanity and decency in the way the increasing number of elderly women are currently treated accentuates the need for a Women's Justice Board to oversee essential improvement.'. - Sir David Ramsbotham, formerly Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons. What is life like for the women who grow.
