More and more women--mothers, grandmothers, wives, daughters, and sisters--are doing hard prison time all across the United States. Many of them are facing the prospect of years, decades, even lifetimes behind bars. Oddly, there's been little public discussion about the dramatic increase of women in the prison system. What exactly is happening here, and why? The answers are in "Women Behind Bars," in which investigative journalist Silja Talvi sheds light on why American girls and women are being locked up at such unprecedented rates.

With a combination of compassion and critical analysis, Talvi delivers a timely, in-depth analysis of a growing and extremely complicated issue.
