Carla L. Johnson Curry's Why Caged Doves Weep is a wonderful book about women in prison in Mississippi. It's gritty and full of stories about women who made mistakes, ended up in prison and either tried to make their lives better or succumbed to the horrors of life "on the inside." The book realistically explores prisoners in Parchman prison and the Rankin County Women's Correctional Center. Ms. Curry was herself an inmate at Parchman prison and details in this book the people she met while serving her own time. Ms. Curry believes that each year more and more crimes are committed by children and that parents don't realize the daily influences on young minds that television, school confrontations and graphic crimes have. Ms. Curry hopes that this book will help inspire teens to do "the right thing" and not begin a life of crime. Carla L. Johnson Curry is a native of Vicksburg and the mother of four children. She attended Alcorn State University and received her Associate of Arts Degree, with Honors. Ms. Curry enjoys laughter and expressing herself and plans on writing many more books. Ms. Curry also recently hosted an Author Talk and Book Signing at the Warren County-Vicksburg Public Library.
