"Families Behind Bars" explores the journeys of several families, from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the United States, who bear horrendous burden shaving loved ones detained in foreign prisons. Often it is the family who suffer in silence because theirs is a situation that seldom generates public sympathy. Their pain is buried beneath a wall of frustration, diplomacy and sometimes secrecy. Walk a mile in their shoes and see if you don't find yourself thanking your lucky stars that you don't have to live their nightmare!These stories are real life accounts that can and do happen to ordinary people in our community. Each one is uniquely inspirational, shockingly heartbreaking and will make you appreciate how fragile our lives really are. We are not immune to human rights violations and we cannot afford to take our rights for granted. We may, with out any warning, be plunged into a rollercoaster of despair! Chapters include Interviews with some of the Bail 9, Schapelle Corby and families that have children on Death Row.
