I am both heartbroken and inspired after reading this book. Breakfast at Bronzefield is an exposé of the criminal justice system and female prisons in Great Britain. Sophie, the author, is honest about how the system fails women constantly while they are serving their sentences. She addresses problems inmates face both inside and outside of the jail setting and calls for action to be taken to ensure prisoners are given the appropriate support. I enjoyed this book more than others I have read that deal with these issues because the author served time in prison herself. She is able to articulate what is not working by referring to her own experiences. As always, it is important to elevate the voices of those who have dealt with an issue personally. I can see this book being an important source for those interested in prisoner advocacy.
