The Prisoner

This was an excellent read ("enjoyed" is probably not the right word), The Prisoner by Kerry Tucker with Craig Henderson.  This book is non-fiction and takes place in the state of Victoria, Australia.  Tucker committed a major fraud and was sentenced to serve her time in a maximum security prison.  She found herself among some of the worst criminals in the state.  The separation from her daughters was the most difficult aspect for her to deal with.  Tucker turned her prison term in to a positive experience.  She found many of the inmates had problems with literacy so she helped them with write letters to solicitors and guided them through the bureaucracy.  She began studying and eventually gained a PhD.  After release, she continues to advocate for women prisoners. 41/2/5
