Rezensionen

This fascinating book provides vital insights into the terrible and exclusionary world of the criminal justice-cognitive disability nexus, and the people at its centre. Providing a platform for hiterto voiceless women, Julie-Anne Toohey challenges us to radically change or abolish institutions that mostly serve to deepen the pain, suffering and abuse of the vulnerable. Prison research of this nature is rare. Yet, amongst the sadness and despair is resilience and hope, and this, too, is a crucial message of this powerful book.
