Lire délivre... la parole : dans la bibliothèque d'une prison du Nord de la France, un atelier de lecture autour d'albums jeunesse. Des détenues en profitent pour évoquer leur vie dedans, et dehors. La nourriture, les fouilles, les parloirs, les cachets, les enfants, la sexualité, les manques et les angoisses... Et le corps qui souffre de trop d'enfermement... Des détenues d'une prison du Nord de la France viennent partager un moment de détente dans la bibliothèque du quartier femmes. Deux heures sans surveillants, un peu hors du temps. Cet ouvrage est un recueil de paroles rares, échangées à cette occasion. L'auteur restitue avec humanité leur réalité, où se mêlent l'ennui, les tensions, les peurs, l'infantilisation, les petites et grandes humiliations, mais aussi les rires et la solidarité entre ces femmes.

Getting Wrecked provides a rich ethnographic account of women battling addiction as they cycle through jail, prison, and community treatment programs in Massachusetts. As incarceration has become a predominant American social policy for managing the problem of drug use, including the opioid epidemic, this book examines how prisons and jails have attempted concurrent programs of punishment and treatment to deal with inmates struggling with a diagnosis of substance use disorder. An addiction physician and medical anthropologist, Kimberly Sue powerfully illustrates the impacts of incarceration on women's lives as they seek well-being and better health while confronting lives marked by structural violence, gender inequity, and ongoing trauma.
