HMP Holloway was the largest women's prison in Europe, historically
holding numerous infamous female criminals and eliciting intrigue
and fascination from the public. The End of the Sentence:
Psychotherapy with Female Offenders documents the rich and varied
psychotherapeutic work undertaken by dedicated specialists in this
intense and often difficult environment, where attempts to provide
psychological security were often undermined by conflicting ideas
of physical security. Women commit crime most often in the context
of poverty, addiction and transgenerational violence or trauma,
familial cycles of offending and imprisonment which are often
overlooked. Using personal testimony and case studies, and screened
through the lens of psychoanalytic theory, the book examines the
enduring therapeutic and relational endeavour to find connection,
closure and to experience a "good enough" ending with prisoners
when the possibility of a positive new beginning often seemed
remote. It also considers how the cultural and political discourse
remains hostile towards women who are incarcerated, and how this
may have culminated in the closure of the only female prison in
London. Through insightful real-life accounts, this insightful book
also emphasizes the importance of professionals finding ways of
supporting one another to offer women who have entered the criminal
justice system a way to leave it. It will prove fascinating reading
for forensic psychotherapists, forensic psychologists and
criminologists, as well as anything interested in the criminal
justice system.
