This is an AWESOME BOOK and SPEAKER!
If you cannot find compassion in your heart for Mrs. Smith after reading her story, you will not be able to have compassion on your child, your sister, or your mother, any of whom could easily be staring at the steps of a prison door. It takes just one slip-up. It's easy-not hard-to get there. The book points out that the penal system does not actively pursue rehabilitation. After reading "TIME ON THE INSIDE: Behind the Walls in a Maximum Security Women's Prison from an Insider's View," I cried. I became depressed for a quick moment, then I decided to do something constructive about it and bring it to the public's attention, and that is when I began to write. And so I did my part. Now it's up to the media to raise public awareness of this cancer that is slowly destroying families. This is a cry for help! Help, somebody-anybody-everybody-help! Prison may be closer to your house and your family than you think.

Very GREAT TOPIC and INSPIRATIONAL PERSON
You don't hear much about women in prison as this is a subject many stay away from. If you're in prison, doing crime or want to know more about what happens within the California Penal System, this book covers it. From the moment you get arrested, to going to jail and then prison and what you do while in and coming out. It takes you right inside as if you are really their. It also gives you some idea as to why women AND youth are going into prison time after time and what the government isn't doing to rehabilitate, but how they are exploiting inmates. I couldn't put this book down and I read it twice. It is also a must have for teens and young adults as it will give a clear understanding of how women AND men should be leading their life. The author is a very eloquent, inspirational and dynamic speaker as she ultimately states that your life will change when you allow a higher power to lead you, when you help others who are less fortunate than you are. I was also impressed at the authors' resources in the back of the book and inspirational messages for us. She is definitely on the right path with this book and her motivational speaking.

GREAT BOOK
This book is great for people that would like to read about struggles and problems women go through in prison. It is also great for women who need female empowerment in their lives and why they should try to keep their lives on track. This book helps women understand that if you are not loved or cared about does not mean that you can’t achieve the greatness that you would like to. So I recommend this book to young men, women, children, teens, and also anybody who needs a word of positivity. Great book.

Understand
I never knew that much about women in the system until a friend let me read her book and i just wanted to cry. Mrs. Smith-Marshall has seen a lot of things and I’m glad that she came out with a book to tell the real story of what goes on. I've never seen anything like this in book stores before. Thank you for opening my eyes on things. Keep up the good work.

What is a Book Review?

• A book review is a description and an evaluation of a book that you have read.
• Book reviews are so helpful because they inform future readers about books they may be interested in reading. Often, a book review will influence other readers by telling them a little bit about what the story is about, as well as if it is worth reading or not!
• The most important thing to remember is that book reviews DO NOT give away the ending! If it is a good book, the reader will not want to spend time reading it if he/she already knows the ending.
