Opis

The California Institution for Women, Tehachapi (1933-1952) was the state's first female prison. It was run by a mainly female team, who aimed to rehabilitate the inmates using, for the time, controversial methods. The author argues that, despite its apparent failure, the prison tackled many still unresolved issues in penal care.
