- Notes:
- No Second Chance is Maree French's account of her time served in Queensland's high security and low security prisons in 2016-2017 She tells the unvarnished truth about Brisbane Women's Correctional Centre, an overcrowded hell-hole where women lived in cages or un-policed units, and where violence was the accepted mode of communication. In a world governed by fear and despair, Maree managed to find a little humour and humanity. Maree was eventually moved to Numinbah, a low security prison farm, where the relative freedom saw women drop their guard to reveal some of the most intriguing characters you will ever find locked up together. Witness the outrageous shenanigans, the drug smuggling and the Great Escapes! This highly entretaining book is an eye-opener. Discover just how unrealistic TV prison dramas are ...and dispel the myth that 'prisoners have it too good.' -- Back cover.
