In the late 60's after raising a family, the author set a high goal for herself--- to become a psychologist in order to exert a positive influence on the lives of others. Little did she imagine then that she would one day find herself working with felons in what was at that time the world's largest walled prison! The Department of Corrections' decision in 1975 to experiment with women working in all-male institutions led to Jean's becoming the first, and for most of a year, the only female psychologist inside the walls of Jackson Prison. Jean's unique perspective on prison life as she saw it is sometimes graphic and horrifying, sometimes touching, or even humorous. Whether she writes of efforts to do therapy with sex offender groups, of inedible meals in the Officer's Dining Room, or harassment from male staff who resented her presence, the reports by this tough-minded but compassionate individual will hold the reader's attention. Anyone interested in criminal justice, psychology, or women's issues will find "There's a Woman in Here!" a fascinating insight into problems that remain relevant today.
