5.0

"Who Would Believe a Prisoner?" is an incise record and analysis of the first women's carceral facilities in Indiana, and how the violence of those institutions affect current women in facilities. The book is broken into three parts: Indiana's first prisons/reformatories, control over women's sexuality, and House of the Good Shepherd. The incarcerated scholars have unearthed critical pieces of Indiana history.
