The premise of this book is that women with a serious psychiatric disorder should not be in prison. The text describes the different types of psychiatric disorder encountered in prison and attempts to relate these to offending. It asks what services should be provided to improve the quality of these women's lives, and makes recommendations, some that require large scale changes and others that are more easily implemented.
