FROM THE PREFACE: “We like to believe that most of our actions are voluntary and we try to distinguish sharply between what is done voluntarily and that which we do by coercion under pressure. However anyone working with criminals detained behind high walls for the protection of society soon comes to realize that the difference between what is done voluntarily and what is done under pressure is not very clear. For many years I have wanted to write a description of what has been done in the Herstedvester Detention Centre since I became its superintendent in 1942; several times I have started but for lack of time have been unable to finish….”

FROM THE FOREWORD: “…From this analysis, several important findings are evident, including: the existence of competing paradigms in research on women offenders; the possibility that women suffer more in prison than men, despite the appearance of "softer" treatment; the inappropriateness of using programs designed for men in women's facilities; the likelthood that recent higher rates of female incarceration are due more to sentencing practices than increased levels of crime; the development of a unique subculture among women Inmates, and finally, the importance of children in the majority of women inmate's lives. Through her comprehensive review, PollockByrne has done an admirable job of clarifying these findings, and providing sensible altematives to a very complex set of circumstances. This work will provide valuable guidance to both students and practitioners in the development of future policles with respect to women's prisons and the treatment of women prisoners.”
