About the Author

Joanna Kozubska is Professor of Managerial Communications at the Inter-national Management Centres and its Vice President, UK.

After teaching in the UK and then Africa with Voluntary Service Overseas, she worked as an assistant governor at Holloway Prison and other HM Prison Service establishments (1970-1977) then as Head of the Special Unit for Disturbed and Disordered Young People at Aycliffe School, County Durham.

During her prison career, she hit the news in the 1970s after borstal girls climbed onto the roof of Holloway demanding that she should not be transferred from their wing (Chapter 10). As explained in Chapter 5, she later escaped notice after Myra Hindley, the Moors Murderer, was escorted out of the gates of Holloway for a headline-making walk in the park.

Joanna Kozubska holds an MBA and DPhil. She published her first book The Seven Keys of Charisma in 1997, writes on related topics and is a well-known exponent of Action Learning. In 2012 she became an altruistic kidney donor. She is Chair of the Friends of Guys Marsh.

Architectural Drawings

The drawings in this book are by Graham Savage based on historical photographs and materials. He has been an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects since 1967 and his artwork developed from illustrating both his own projects and commissions from other architectural practices. He is a member of the Society of Architectural Illustrators and also the Society of Graphic Fine Art.

Acknowledgements

This book has been four years in the writing.

Ruth Eade and Bob Mackenzie convinced me I had a story worth telling. My friends from the Writers Cottage in Anglesey cheered me on. Ann Booth ensured I put myself into the book. John Taylor saw so much more in what I gave him to read. Angela Niemeyer Eastwood and Andrea Hessay gave me a necessary objective view. Mags Burgin, Jen Stack, Clare Denby, Angela Knight, Terry Tucker and Lara Harris read chapters and cheered me on. Val Lowman encouraged me with her passion and enthusiasm. Patrick and Katie Brown gave me their wise counsel, their time and interest over the long period of writing and asked after the book every time we met.

In dark days, novelist Mario Reading got me started again.

My Prison Service colleagues were magnificent in their support: Colin Honey confirmed in my mind what I wanted to write. Ann Hair couldnt have been more helpful, jogging my memory, reminding me of how things had been, and researching information we had both forgotten. David Faulkner encouraged me, gave me his time and advice, read and commented on my work. Muriel Allen and Audrey Stern gave me their support and their stories. Monica Carden and Judy Gibbons shared their memories. Pat Bartholomew read chapters and gave me enthusiastic feedback.

Phil Wheatley cleared the way for me to use the letters in the book and gave me encouraging feedback when he later read the manuscript.

The Hon. Mary Morrison and Min Wood supported me in so many ways.

My school friends were a huge support. Judith Kelley, Gaynor McCarthy, Sue Di Girolamo and Marion Put Picton were interested and fascinated. Mary Simpson took a draft to bed with her and read it after a tough days work and reported a real fascination. Sue Jones read the final draft and gave me much valued and wonderful feedback. My family, Shena, Danuta and Gerald offered continuous support.

Graham Savage contributed the fantastic drawings.

Rosemary Macdonald gave me reassuring final feedback.

Mandy Little, my agent, encouraged me and kept me writing.

My new colleagues in the Friends of Guys Marsh gave me unbiased encouragement.

Bryan Gibson, Waterside Press, believed in the project and said yes. Alex steered the illustrations into the book with much care.

Most importantly, I am indebted to all the women who wrote letters to me and who gave me permission to use their material.

Jo Denby took my photograph and but for Jo I would not have started or completed. She read each draft and has been my support, encouragement and editor throughout.

Thank you.
