Mouse On A String At The Prison For Women [signed] [first edition]

An intimate look behind the walls of the well-known Kingston prison, recently closed. A former warden of the P4W shares anecdotes, history, and his recollections of an exciting and unpredictable career. George Caron follows one inmate in particular-- Mouse --from her incarceration to her victorious release into the community. Far from simply a place of punishment and suffering, the P4W offered educational opportunities and other types of programs to inmates who had the interest and ability to benefit from them.These rich, real-life stories and the saga of the inner prison reality are fascinating and profoundly intriguing. George has opened up the mystique of a female prison. Drugs, illicit weapons, illicit relationships, death threats, Doukhobors, and many other topics make this absorbing reading.
