Böcker av Alma Kirksey

Have you ever been mentally lost? I don't mean crazy or insane, but has your life ever been temporarily out of control? You follow the orders of someone or something else. Nothing is normal during this temporary stage of your life. Have you ever experienced deja vu? Saying to yourself, "e;I've been here and done this before"e;? Have you ever examined yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and/or spiritually and made a change based on your findings? Were you successful or not?The issues of incarceration entail all the above, especially for incarcerated of women. Most incarcerated men are great actors; you would never know how they are handling incarceration, even if you inquire. Incarcerated women are not good actors. Of course, there is low self-esteem, but loss of freedom and control of their lives and temporary loss of family and friends have a different effect on incarcerated women than incarcerated men. Most are pretrial and plagued by guilt and sorrow. The women of C-Dorm struggle for a chance to find a new way of life.
