Launch of Research for Women in Prison Ltd –free resource

It has taken me six years to complete this unique project. It is a comprehensive collection of research for women in prison.

I made a decision not to commercialize it because I have wanted to remain as independent as possible. I have relied on your good-will, and the help of my family / friends.

I worked as a teacher within a female prison in 2006. During this time I witnessed self-harm, mental abuse and many other issues that were in breach of human rights. Frustrated with the lack of training and support, I have accessed, researched and written this site on my own.

Your donations will mean that I will be able to empower and engage women.

Thanks again,

With best wishes
