Impact: My Journey to a Women's Federal Prison

Follow the journey of the author, Janie Renee Cochran, through the onset of a mental disorder, to an international crime of greed, and then to a prison sentence in a Federal women’s prison. In this book she chronicles her illness, the crime provoked and enabled by it, and a long time in the rancid environment of a Federal prison. In it she found everything from sex to degrading loneliness. This is a book for anyone who has ever suffered a mental disorder or knows someone who has. It talks about the world of au pairs (international nannies) and a Federal court system in which mental illness is a chargeable and punishable crime. It is the story of a love affair the author had with the most unlikely person in the world, her exact opposite. Through her writing you will get a glimpse into life in a Federal prison and the counterproductive nature of it. In this book you will discover the many things that have impinged upon this country’s justice system as seen through the eyes of a typical, middle-class soccer mom.
