Donna Ann Smith MarshallDid You Know More Women Are Going to Prison Today More Than Ever and Why Society Can Help Change This

Prison causes damage and disruption to the lives of vulnerable women, most of whom pose no risk to the public. "TIME ON THE INSIDE” calls attention to “Why more women are going to prison today more than ever”— "What really happens daily behind the walls" —“Why the Penal System promotes comfortability rather than rehabilitation”—“Why inmate deaths occur often”—“Why it’s important for society to care about prisoner's rights” — “Why compassion is so important”— "How does one stay from doing Time On The Inside and "How to restore your life" if you have/haven't been behind the walls.
