Hidden Healers [EPUB ebook] 
The Unexpected Ways Women in Prison Help Each Other Survive

Wsparcie

A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women’s lives

With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades’ experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today’s prisons and jails only magnify their trauma- and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another’s well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women’s prisons and jails- and what we can do to help.
