Janie Jones, a miner's daughter from County Durham, had already established herself as a successful singer and dancer in London's most exclusive nightclubs. ***By the time the sixties ended, so had Janie Jone's notorious parties in her Kensington home for her show business friends. Soon, she would be sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for controlling prostitutes and attempting to pervert the course of justice. ***Janie Jones' extraordinary book vividly reconstructs the permissive swinging sixties; it provides the first detailed inside account of routine violence, sex and drug abuse in women's prisons - far more horrifying in reality that the fictional plot lines of 'Prisoner: Cell Block H'; but above all else, its startling revelations about Myra Hindley's state of mind are of the utmost importance to the debate on whether she should ever be released back to the community.'
