Resilience: Living in Prison with Martha Stewart

At Alderson West Virginia Prison Camp, Ms. Turpin riveted daily with éclat Martha Stewart, forming a unique comity during Martha Stewart's five-month stay. Ms. Turpin began with an intimate depiction of day-to-day life with Martha Stewart, expanding her experience into a macro-sociological view of penology. Martha Stewart is Queen of the corporate business world; Ms. Turpin is a non-profit Director and Community Activist. Coming from two different echelons of life, yet uniting in thought, the two women came together for the same cause, creating the pilot program, Women Empowering Women, taking internal activism to a new level.
