Two cases that are to be sent to MPs on the Public Accounts Committee include claims that a terminally -
ill prisoner was kept waiting
in handcuffs for 40 minutes while G4S staff went to a bakery for lunch and allegations that a
woman in a Sodexo
prison was forced to clean her cell after miscarrying.
Set
in the
women's
prison in Gatestown, Texas, this heartfelt and challenging novel is a true literary page - turner that intertwines the lives of three
women: a murderer waiting to be executed on death row — who is at the same time desperately
ill with AIDS — the widow of the man she murdered and the physician responsible for the inmate's care.
