Publisher's Synopsis
Ivan Milat, the notorious backpacker serial killer, is not the most feared person in prison. Nor is it Martin Bryant, the man who set a killing record when he murdered 35 people in what was the worst ever massacre in the world. No, the one who needs chains, leather straps and a full-time military-like guard is not even a man. The most dangerous inmate in Australia is Rebecca Butterfield: a self-mutilating murderer, infamous for slicing guards, inmates and herself. And for the very first time, we can reveal the full details of the prison slaughter that saw her become the first inmate to be kept locked up past her release date under a controversial new law. You will also meet rapists, drug dealers, and fallen celebrities in the most comprehensive ever account of women's prison life yet. Who is the murderous matriarch that runs Australia's toughest jail? Do women rape each other? And do the guards really trade 40cent phone cards for sex? All will be revealed in Green is the New Black: Inside Australia's Hardest Women's Jails.
