Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, part of a series that presents historical prison case studies, provides remarkable insight into the lives of female inmates.

She contends that prison life in England did not seek to rehabilitate but rather to punish. Drawing on real-life accounts, the book offers a deeper look at the complex humanity behind the stereotypes of incarcerated women. The text not only provides first-hand accounts of the harsh realities of women's imprisonment, but through the author's own experiences, the reader gets a comprehensive overview of how the psychological and physical well-being of the women were utterly dependent on the temperaments and personalities of the matrons who oversaw them.

This book delves into the gritty realities of Victorian Glasgow, following the tumultuous life of Jane Cameron, a woman entrenched in a world of crime and poverty. The narrative weaves through the city's dark underbelly, exposing the intricate network of thieves and their exploitative practices, particularly focusing on the tactics used to lure unsuspecting men into compromising situations.
