Many women have become a large part of the California Penal System. There are women of all ages and races. Mothers, daughters, sisters, wives even grandmothers as most come from broken homes where incest, physical and emotional abuse, rape, alcoholism, drug use, prostitution, theft and the overall exploitation of life are an everyday way of living. To know something different is out of the ordinary, it isn't real life. TIME ON THE INSIDE takes readers vividly into the walls of Central California Women's Facility—CCWF, the largest women's prison in the United States with a stop through Sybil Brand Institute—SBI, formerly the largest women's jail in California where conditions at this jail were not fit for a rodent. There are many struggles and challenges faced daily behind the walls. Conditions can be abusive, violent and even deadly; however most often there is a sense of comfortableness that leads one into a realm of institutionalism, which can determine ones future.
