Penitentiary, she began working tirelessly for prison reform. Founder and most vocal member of the Vancouver-based Prisoners' Rights Group, Culhane has written two books on prison reform and her experiences in fighting the prison system entitled "Barred from Prison" (1979) and "Still Barred from Prison" (1985)....
