"The first edition reviewed the disproportionate number of African American women making up the US prison population. In this book, topics include reasons why young African American women are first drawn into criminal behavior; trends connecting incarceration to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse; effects of incarceration on inmates' families; and possible preventative measures or alternatives to imprisonment"--Provided by publisher.
