Cries for Help opens a window on the closed world of Holloway,
other women's prisons and the lives of those held there in the
1970s. This was an era when personal style and charismatic
leadership was the order of the day for governors and prison
officers, before ideas of 'new management', when problems were
solved using personal initiatives. It catalogues the daily lives of
women prisoners, their anxieties, fears and preoccupations. The
book looks at a lost segment of the population, hundreds of women
who were hidden from view, lacking a voice, part of a system for
men that hardly knew what to do with them. It contains stories
about murderers and other serious offenders and looks at their
personal correspondence, including that of moors murderer Myra
Hindley.
