Original Toronto Star caption: An open exchange of ideas and opinions goes on at a lifestyle workshop inside the prison. Director Douglas Chinnery chats with inmates (from left) Colleen Wolf; Sharon Cherry; Irene Ludwikowski and Ann Wilson. The women were outspoken in their criticism of the vocational programs; claiming that men in prisons get better job training. Chinnery is trying to add courses such as welding to the range of programs; currently limited to hairdressing; sewing; typing and shorthand or general studies - all women-type subjects.
