Today in the United States women are the fastest-growing prison population. This CBS News production offers a rare glimpse into a world that is based on retribution rather than rehabilitation and in which the rules of survival in prison are often tougher than the rules of the street. Issues such as sexual and drug abuse, family histories, and breaking the cycle of crime and incarceration are addressed through the personal stories of women who are doing time. Produced by CBS NEWS.
