Terrific story about how one woman got caught up in the wrong end of the law by her own carelessness, and how she became an advocate for prison reform in the process. There are too many books about life in men's prisons but relatively few about what it is like for females behind bars. The long wait for a trial does make a mockery of the concept of a speedy trial, even if the author did get a plea bargain for her testimony against others. The title itself speaks volumes about how insane the incarceration system has become in America.
