When The Journey to Prison was first published in 2002 it became an instant New Zealand bestseller. In it, Celia Lashlie (1953-2015) — the first woman to work as a prison officer in a male New Zealand prison — analysed the forces that shape the face of crime in New Zealand, the way we punish offenders, the effectiveness of prison, parental responsibility, the role of drugs and the role of state institutions. This revised edition also contains her insights into tragic events of late 2002 and the debate surrounding the building of more prisons. Celia Lashlie went on to write the iconic He'll Be OK: Growing Gorgeous Boys into Good Men. A significant and enduring work of New Zealand social commentary.
