It presents the kaleidoscope of personal despair, desperation, alienation, and fragile hopes of women caught up in the state's zeal for incarceration. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Susan Madden Lankford's flesh-and-blood images of life behind the concrete and steel facilities reveal an overcrowded, strained incarceration system increasingly unable to deal with the mental, emotional, and addiction problems women bring with them behind bars.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Started by Lankford, Humane Exposures is a socially driven project geared toward public awareness and education about a society at risk. Maggots in My Sweet Potatoes, the first in a trilogy of books, will be followed by Born But Not Raised – Kids at Risk, chronicling the plight of youngsters going through the juvenile justice system on their way, mostly, to a life of problems with the law. The third volume – Downtown USA – probes into the homeless in a major metropolitan city. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Title: MAGGOTS IN MY SWEET POTATOES: Women Doing Time<BR/><BR/>Author/Photographer: Susan Madden Lankford<BR/><BR/>Foreword: Edward Pearlstien, Writer/Editor of History and Economics<BR/><BR/>Preface: Vincent J.
