"Relaciones amorosas de las mujeres encarceladas" de Estibaliz de Miguel Calvo

Abstract

Estibaliz de Miguel addresses the experience of women imprisonment in her study about love relationships within the female cell-block of Nanclares de la Oca prison, located in the Basque Country. Through a series of more than forty interviews with different interns, the author analyses the multiple meanings and possibilities that love, in all its shapes, offers to women prisoners.  The book goes deep into their often precarious biographies, finally showing how love can become a crucial element to deal with imprisonment.
