On one level, this is an interesting academic read into the wold of federally sentenced women. It's lingering in theory though makes it of less practical utility than might be otherwise hoped. Ms. Hannah-Moffat though has been very instrumental in helping advance women's corrections in Canada and this is a reflection of her strong academic and critical capacities.
