Are any of your viewers/readers/listeners/audience curious about
the penal system especially Women’s Prisons? Are they interested
in knowing “Why Are So Many Women Going To Prison and What
Goes On Inside If You Are One Of Them?” How would you like
to help them to understand by informing them on what happens daily
in the Unites States Largest Maximum Security Women’s Prison?
Recently there has been much media coverage in relations to the
California Penal System and the problems that have been in existence
for many years. These problems have caused the jails and prisons
to become a breeding ground for drugs, sex, violence, deaths and
comfortability where a number of individuals have fallen victim
too and have conformed too institutionalism as a means and way
of life. There has been a great deal of coverage on incarcerated
men and the animalistic conditions they are faced with daily which
gives society a belief that this is the way for anyone who becomes
a part of this world; however there is another side to this system — women,
as their world has an existence of its own that can leave a newcomer
that is sentenced to a maximum security prison for a minor crime,
feeling as though it isn't as bad as the penal system has made
it out to be, which is a new threat in itself. Women in Prison:
A Growing Trend. I know that you have done shows on Women in prison;
however it would be great to see a topic done in depth as to "Why
Are So Many Women Going To Prison and What Goes On Inside If You
Are One Of Them as well as Women of Incarceration Who Have Beat
the Odds and Giving Back to Society."
TIME ON THE INSIDE, Behind The
Walls In A Maximum Security Women's Prison From An Insiders
View by Donna Ann Smith-Marshall — FMA
Publishing, will be released April 8, 2006 and will bring
an awareness of "Why more women are going to prison today
more than ever"—"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" — "What happens day
to day in prison and when you're released and How Life can be renewed
while in and after prison?" These topics are sure to be an interesting
talk in person, over the telephone and definitely the water cooler.
It is unfortunate that the crime rate is increasing and now more
than ever for not only women, but our youth. TIME ON THE INSIDE
will speak to readers in their teens to adults who want an overview
of the penal system to get a clearer understanding; for encouragement,
support and help to stop doing crime; to gain compassion in an
effort to see that rehabilitation is a necessity or to know what
they're in store for if they are doing crime themselves. Our California
Governor, Schwarzenegger's called for major reform in the California
Penal System in 2004. The governor's plan targeted parolees and
involved sending parole violators to halfway houses or community-based
drug abuse programs instead of returning them to prison. Administration
advocates stated that more than half of California's convicts released
on parole return to prison within 2 years of their release. They
stated that the prisons are already too overcrowded to accommodate
delinquent parolees. The plan was initiated for a short while and
then abandoned in 2005 as some Senate officials claimed the program
was not working.
This forthcoming book has an extraordinary view of a Maximum Security
California Women's Prison and looks into various areas that plague
women, the problems within the California Penal System and the
lack of rehabilitation, which plays a great part of criminals continuously
being warehoused, developing an attitude of comfortability and
conforming to institutionalism.
It will bring knowledge, laughter, tears and a much needed awareness
that compassion and rehabilitation to understand and help with
the social and economical barriers many women face which ultimately
lead them into a life of crime and into the penal system.
It will exploit the unacceptable medical conditions and lack of
preventative care, which resulted in many deaths; however the cost
of health care in State prisons for women is sixty percent more
expensive than it is for men.
Help your viewers/listeners/audience to understand that this will
be an informative book for them and a sure talk over the water
cooler and that the author will be donating a portion of the proceeds
toward opening a Let's Focus Development Center for Women to assist
women in positively progressing back into society.
