Invisible Women by Angela Devlin

Invisible Women is a classic text that has stood the test of time. It enables readers especially who have never set foot inside a prison to see the unique impact of imprisonment on women.

'What a marvelous book.. Excellent'-- Justice of the Peace; 'Another important contribution to the struggle of ensuring women prisoners' voices are heard and, as such, has much to commend it'- Journal of Law and Society.

Angela Devlin is a writer, broadcaster and exponent of prisoners' rights whose work has attracted wide interest and acclaim: Criminal Classes (Waterside Press, 1995), Prison Patter: A Dictionary of Prison Slang (Waterside Press, 1996); Invisible Women: What's Wrong With Women's Prisons (Waterside Press, 1998), Anybody's Nightmare: The Sheila Bowler Story (Taverner Publications, 1998) and Going Straight After Crime and Punishment with Bob Turney (Waterside Press, 1999). Anybody's Nightmare, the true story of a wrongful conviction for murder, was later dramatised for ITV and featured the character 'Angela Devlin' campaigning for the case to be re-opened (The conviction was eventually quashed and the defendant acquitted after a new trial).
