Author Alma Kirksey's new book "The Women of C-Dorm: City Detention Center" is a poignant reflection on her time counseling female inmates at her city detention center
Recent release "The Women of C-Dorm: City Detention Center" from Page Publishing author Alma Kirksey is a sensitive and compassionate portrait of the emotionally wounded women who populate the nation's prisons, drawn from her experience serving as a stress meditation counselor for women in prison.
BALTIMORE, June 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alma Kirksey is a career employee of the penal system in a variety of capacities such as work release counselor and residential correctional counselor for the male prison population before transitioning to stress meditation counselor for the female population. She has published her new book "The Women of C-Dorm: City Detention Center": a slim yet compelling volume asking fundamental questions about the nature and justice of the American penal system.
Alma writes, "Have you ever been mentally lost? I don't mean crazy or insane, but has your life ever been temporarily out of control? You follow the orders of someone or something else. Nothing is normal during this temporary stage of your life. Have you ever experienced déjà vu? Saying to yourself, 'I've been here and done this before'? Have you ever examined yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and/or spiritually and made a change based on your findings? Were you successful or not?
"The issues of incarceration entail all the above, especially for incarcerated of women. Most incarcerated men are great actors; you would never know how they are handling incarceration, even if you inquire. Incarcerated women are not good actors.
"Of course, there is low self-esteem, but loss of freedom and control of their lives and temporary loss of family and friends have a different effect on incarcerated women than incarcerated men.
"Most are pretrial and plagued by guilt and sorrow. The women of C-Dorm struggle for a chance to find a new way of life."
Published by Page Publishing, Alma Kirksey's engrossing book is a thought-provoking work drawn from her expensive educational and professional background serving inmates at the city detention center.
