"What makes a woman commit murder? And what does it feel like to share a cell with murdererers? Carla van der Spuy visits four women's prisons across South africa and delves into the minds of women who've committed violent crimes. She spends time with babies behind bars, celebrates Christmas in prison, and chats face to face with a kleptomaniac, a prostitute, and women who killed with knives and guns or employed contract killers. Women with blood on their hands. What went so terribly wrong in their lives? And is there a human being hiding behind the criminal?" -- Back cover.
