Description: Written while incarcerated at a California women's prison, this political zine defiantly outlines the hierarchical, discriminatory, and abusive system rampant in the author's correctional facility. She describes how the racial and class boundaries mirror those of outside society and how prison guards manipulate inmates for sexual favors. Despite administrative attempts to curb her expository writing, she refuses to let prison stunt her own identity. The author is a lesbian of mixed Arab descent.
