"Interrupted Life" is a gripping collection of writings by and
about imprisoned women in the United States, a country that jails a
larger percentage of its population than any other nation in the
world. This eye-opening work brings together scores of voices from
both inside and outside the prison system including incarcerated
and previously incarcerated women, their advocates and allies,
abolitionists, academics, and other analysts. In vivid, often
highly personal essays, poems, stories, reports, and manifestos,
they offer an unprecedented view of the realities of women's
experiences as they try to sustain relations with children and
family on the outside, struggle for healthcare, fight to define and
achieve basic rights, deal with irrational sentencing systems,
remake life after prison; and more. Together, these powerful
writings are an intense and visceral examination of life behind
bars for women, and, taken together, they underscore the failures
of imagination and policy that have too often underwritten our
current prison system.
