This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 1739, the Cherub of Desire wrecks her glorious ship upon the remote island of St Kilda. She wades ashore in an understandable fury, leaving her grumbling slaves to mend the Vessel. Her mood is not improved when she stumbles across a wild-haired woman who insists on engaging in a lengthy conversation. This is the Lady Grange, the unfortunate but loving wife of one of Scotland's political elite, kidnapped from Edinburgh by her husband's allies and deposited neatly out of sight upon the island. While her ship is being repaired, the Cherub passes the time in seducing young men and married women, and in trying to avoid the unhappy prisoner. At length, in a fit of unaccustomed charity, she agrees to carry to Edinburgh some letters in which Lady Grange begs her friends to rescue her. The Cherub considers this to be a good excuse for a well-deserved holiday in the bright lights of the big city. But due to encounters with disaffected Highlanders, debauched clan-chiefs, deluded poets and despotic lawyers, her holiday does not go well. Not at all well.

Book excerpt: “An important reminder of the lessons Madiba taught us all.”—President Bill Clinton There are numerous books about Nelson Mandela, but Good Morning, Mr. Mandela is the first by a trusted member of his inner circle. In addition to offering a rare close portrait, Zelda la Grange pays tribute to Madiba as she knew him—a teacher who gave her the most valuable lessons of her life.

Inspiring and deeply felt, this book honors a great man’s lasting gift.

Download or read book A History of Women s Prisons in England written by Susanna Menis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a revisionist prison history which brings to the forefront the relationship between gender and policy. It examines women’s prisons in England from the late 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century, drawing attention to the detrimental effect the orthodox closed prison has on penal reform. The text investigates the clash between what was conceptualised as desirable prison policy and the actual implementation and implications of such a penalty on the prisoner. It challenges previous claims made about the invisibility of women prisoners in historical penal policy, and provides an original analysis of the open prison, taking HMP Askham Grange as a case study, where the history of such an initiative is explored and debated.

Download or read book All Things Censored written by Mumia Abu-Jamal and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2001-06-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 75 essays—many freshly composed by Mumia with the cartridge of a ball-point pen, the only implement he is allowed in his death-row cell—embody the calm and powerful words of humanity spoken by a man on Death Row. Abu-Jamal writes on many different topics, including the ironies that abound within the U.S. prison system and the consequences of those ironies, and his own case. Mumia's composure, humor, and connection to the living world around him represents an irrefutable victory over the "corrections" system that has for two decades sought to isolate and silence him. The title, All Things Censored, refers to Mumia's hiring as an on-air columnist by National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," and subsequent banning from that venue under pressure from law and order groups.
Download or read book Prisonomics written by Vicky Pryce and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 2013, Vicky Pryce was sentenced to eight months in prison for accepting her ex-husband's penalty points on her driving licence some ten years earlier. After a very public trial, she was sent first to the notorious Holloway and then to East Sutton Park, an open prison in Kent. Inside, she kept a diary documenting her views and experiences; from this diary, Prisonomics was born. Faced with the realities of life behind bars and inspired by the stories of the women she met, Pryce began to research the injustices she found within the prison system. In this informed and important critique, she draws upon her years of experience in economics to call for radical reform and seeks to change how we look at crime and punishment. Prisonomics is not only a personal account of Pryce's experience in prison. It is also a compelling analysis of both the economic and the very human cost of keeping women behind bars.
