This jail house memoir takes you on a visit, along with the "perpetrator, first-time offender" of a prison facility in the heart of a Long Island county in New York. Told in the first person, it paints a vivid and gripping picture of the terrible ordeal faced during 112 days of incarceration in the medical block of a women's detention center, Carmen Road. Due to family dysfunction, our gal's family refuses to bail her out. Without a prior criminal record, she is, nevertheless, subjected to strip search 92 times. During her stay, an attempt is made on her life. She witnesses many bizarre incidents and things, some seemingly supernatural. The hostile African-American ladies, the intense and domineering German-American "Alphas" all take their turns in teaching this female "Candide" what Life is really all about. Severely tried and disillusioned, the protagonist finally gains freedom by pleading guilty and being sentenced--just to get out, though innocent.
