Nurses Behind Bars

In Nurses behind Bars, author Beth Grayson unveils the fascinating and unimaginable events, behaviors, and relationships occurring in a maximum security, all-female prison. Based on real observations, she journeys behind prison walls to share a nurse's experiences and shocking revelations of prison life. Grayson narrates some of the inmates' histories as they tell about their upbringing and living in severely dysfunctional families. Although many of the women found it difficult to discuss their backgrounds, private interviews reveal shocking recantations of violence, rape, and torture these women endured as young girls. Some were forced into prostitution, some by their own family members. She heard stories of young drug addicted girls involved in the cold-blooded murders of their own infant children and more. Nurses behind Bars discusses that the great power of drug addiction led these women down a hopeless and dangerous path of crime and murder to spend many years or life behind prison bars.
