Willow's book, Children Behind Bars , on the abuse of children in custody, draws on her experiences in a long career spent trying to improve the lot of children, first as a social worker and later at the Children's Rights Alliance. A focus of her book is on the use of restraint on children and on some of the 33 children who have died in custody in the past 25 years. Willow's anger is evident. . . . A harrowing read., Willow provides a strong empirical foundation for the argument that these placements are not suitable to rehabilitate youths who have made poor decisions. This book highlights the need for reform of juvenile offenders in Britain, but can appeal to an international audience as child imprisonment is not only a British fallacy. The detailed case studies humanize young people who were dehumanized by the prison system, and allow readers to connect with and also make their own conclusions about how change should occur with this governmental practice., Willow's carefully researched analysis of child abuse in prison, illustrated by haunting case studies, shames our society. Prisons are not safe places, and children should not be sent there., Timely evidence that the justice secretary's proposal to imprison 320 children, in what he euphemistically calls a 'secure college,' compounds present abuse., All of the evidence points to the corrosive, ineffective, and damaging effects of child imprisonment. Willow's book further strengthens the compelling case for abolition., The British obsession with prison has cost the lives of too many children. Willow's book exposes the raw and terrible truth about state-sanctioned abuse of children in custody. Read her book and then take action to end the use of prison for our children., Willow exposes cruel, inhuman and degrading realities facing children exiled to prison. This book is recommended to everyone who cares about child protection and human rights., In her searing and unflinching book, . . . Willow documents how children are humiliated by a culture that tolerates bullying (both from staff and other young people), restraints and strip searching that in some cases contravenes their rights and well-being. . . . As Willow makes clear, for some children a sentence can become a death sentence., Robust and shocking, this book is very moving and must provide the platform for reform to better protect the young people whom we lock up and keep out of sight., This is the book we've all been waiting for, assembled by an author who has passion, knowledge, and wisdom., Child imprisonment is always abusive. No child should sheep in a cell nor call prison 'home.' Children Behind Bars will inform you, sear your heart, and stir your conscience into action., Willow exposes cruel, inhuman and degrading realities facing children exiled to prison. This book is recommended to everyone who cares about child protection and human rights., This is an important and passionately argued book, which should strongly influence policy makers, politicians, and those involved in youth justice to rethink and change the practice of sending children to prison. . . . This book highlights the indignities and subtle abuses that children face whilst in prison, such as strip searching and physical violence, whilst clearly and graphically shining a powerful light on systematic mismanagement, poor practice, and poor policy; and in the cases of some politicians, and youth justice management, cowardice. . . . A work of great empathy . . . This book is an essential read for those interested in or working in the youth offending system., Willow's evocative and troubling book on the imprisonment of children is a damning indictment of the ways in which vulnerable individuals are treated by the criminal justice system.
