Reminds me of a similar valiant woman,
Mother Antonia Brenner, "The Prison Angel", who actually lived in a prison cell and worked with hardened gang members and drug addicts in the terrifying prison in Tijuana.

I had a few acquaintances who did time at Rikers and upstate in prison. They went for bookmaking and loansharking.
Rikers sounded worse than upstate. Rikers infested with drugs to the point of absurdity.
Nobody was raped and some had a few fights.
I have a feeling the Venezuelan prison is horrific beyond words compared to our prisons.
That beings said, at 47, I would be content see neither!!

Mrs. Don-o, thanks for posting about that book. I did not know about it.

The younger generation is very into risk-taking, but not many are interested in taking this kind of risk.
