RELEASE

‘release’, a book of powerful poems and life stories by women in prison, explores how expressive writing can help to heal emotional distress that underlies self harm. A selection of women are featured, diverse in terms of race and culture, index offence, age, sexual orientation and physical ability.

In addition to the women’s writing, ‘release’ offers a woman-centred context in which to view self harm, several expressive writing exercises and an overview of reasons women might self harm.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be given to WISH and Women in Prison.

INSIDE LIFE

A remarkable snapshot of prisoners’ lives. To read these stories is to go on a journey that is moving, funny, heartbreaking, wise and hopeful. Some of it doesn’t make comfortable reading but then if a book such as this doesn’t challenge us as readers then it wouldn’t truly represent its writers.

“The writing is clear, honest and unembellished: a must for anyone who cares about the people we send to prison, and for anyone who doesn’t.”
Erwin James: Journalist and Author of A Life Inside
