Carolyne Willow states in the introduction to her book Children Behind Bars: "I have not aimed and do not claim to have written a balanced book." As you turn each page, this becomes more and more apparent as she outlines the nature and extent of the abuse of children in custody, highlighting the ineffectiveness of imprisonment as a rehabilitative process, building a compelling argument.
The book documents the worst elements of child prisons and makes a zealous and engaging case for putting an end to their use. The author's expertise and passion for promoting and protecting the rights of children come through powerfully, as she draws on her extensive professional experience as a child protection social worker and campaigner at the Children's Rights Alliance.
