Prison Girl by Wenzell Brown

Poor, 2 stars

'THE SECRET SOUNDS OF WOMEN DEPRIVED...

Linda was not yet eighteen, yet this was her life. The metallic clang of a cell door. The hysterical sobbing of a fellow prisoner who had been beaten by a sadistic warder. Even when she slept the gray life of prison crept around her. She heard the harsh voice of a lady-lover warning her, 'What you need's an old woman to take care of ya, so play it easy, kid, and be nice to me.' She saw the flash of a switchblade and caught a glimpse of a face ripped and bleeding. Linda had been convicted of no crime. She was in protective custody. Yet this was her life--this was prison.'

One of many books documenting in painful detail the abuses prevalent in the women’s prison system, with special attention to the undeniable fact that the system breeds various sexual aberrations. A few of these books are excellent. This one isn’t.
