Detained women and penitentiary police agents talk about their daily life in a correctional facility.
This is a travel-diary that can't find comparison in Italian literature. These people express themselves for the first time, telling about their life during the Nineties in prisons of Genova, Milan, Pozzuoli, Rome, Sollicciano, Venice and Verona.
The author collected the voices of women who live and work inside prisons: detained, police agents and volunteers who tell about their job, discriminations, difficulties, love and the sense of loneliness. How can the future be build with such pre-conditions?
A book full of words, projects and changes that affect detained women and prison consultants, in a context that is maybe the most removed institution of our culture.

Afterward by Lidia Menapace
“Not only is this book a witness, but also a contribution to political material of first order, to build other horizons and other perspectives of the community life”.
