About the Book

"Prison became a chapter of my life." A thriving entrepreneur in her 30's, managing medical clinics across three states and providing care for patients battling illnesses such as cancer and lymphedema, Saffron's world unraveled when she challenged a delinquent insurance company and prevailed; only to face retaliation with false accusations submitted to the FBI. Over the ensuing years, Saffron became the subject of relentless surveillance, intimidation, and harassment by federal agents. Pressured into signing a plea deal, she found herself navigating the harsh conditions of federal prison. Saffron's memoir chronicles her experiences within the California prison system and an Oregon halfway house. Emerging from incarceration, Saffron was driven to establish Marpé Haven, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women who have been voiceless, aiming to dismantle the oppressive structures of the U.S. justice system and foster opportunities for healing and growth. As Saffron put the finishing touches on her book, the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, was permanently closed. Saffron's story serves as a timely, firsthand account of systemic abuse and a clarion call for reform in the treatment of women prisoners, both within and beyond the prison walls. Throughout the ordeal, Saffron fought to maintain her identity and voice, with a determination to help other women reclaim theirs through this compelling memoir highlighting the stark realities of social injustice within the women's federal prison system.
