Women Behind Bars Vogue Williams Wild Girls

Vogue travels to America, a country with the highest per-capita number of female prisoners in the world – 57 of them currently held under sentence of death. And, on the flip side, 37% of correction officers in the US penal system are women. Vogue experiences life as an inmate at The Miami-Dade Prison Bootcamp in Miami, Florida, home to almost 100 convicted Felons aged 16 – 24 and one of the toughest prison regimes in the US. Except Miami-Dade is different, from Head Warden Lieutenant Green down to the tough-as-tarmac drill sergeants – the bootcamp is run almost entirely by women.Vogue also travels to The Lowell Female Correctional Institute in Ocala, Central Florida currently home to five female death row prisoners. There she meets convicted murderer Emilia Carr who, at 30 years of Age, is the youngest female prisoner on Death Row in America
