Focusing on women's experiences in and out of prison, this book explores how these experiences influence their journey toward crime-free living post-incarceration. It highlights personal narratives and cognitive shifts related to desistance, while addressing the roles of addiction and stigma. The author, a practitioner, incorporates insights from service providers to shed light on supporting criminalized women. With an intersectional, feminist lens, the book advocates for anti-carceral and abolitionist approaches to enhance the desistance process.
