Join Dr. Kathryn Whiteley and AJ Nutter in an eye-opening exploration of the lives of women serving life sentences for murder. Drawing from nearly 20 years of criminological research in maximum-security prisons across Ireland, Australia, Pennsylvania, and Texas, Dr. Whiteley shares insights into the complex realities behind the crimes.
