How and why did these women cross to the dark side; what makes them kill their husbands, lovers, family, or innocent strangers; and what is life like when you’re locked up with volatile killers in your own personal hell? From their illicit love affairs to race relations, prostitution, protection rackets and drug smuggling–all in prison–Clarkson has used his access to some of America’s toughest prisons to reveal the story of women criminals and the world they live in.
