Introduction
At first working for the Parkers in their lavish antebellum home in Georgia, escaping the poverty and chronic social depressiion of the Appalachian mining community, appeared to be the perfect set-up for the runaway newlyweds. The Parkers, well-known philanthropists who charitably funded the Parker Halfway House for Girls, possessed every contrivance of sophistication and enviable social status...hobnobbing with political candidates for Congress and state court judges.
Yet Paul and Kathy were prisoners before they stepped foot inside the Parker's home-imprisoned in the vengeful mind of an embittered woman cheated of her youthful amour, who skulked psychotically searching for the perfect victim to enslave in retribution for years of painful longing.
Cleverly, Myra Parker had set the trap and sprung it the moment she slipped her diamond rings into Kathy's purse, charged her with theft, and gained custody of the sixteen year old bride in an effort to destroy the heroine of Edward Mitchell's lengthy novel.
Prison House For Girls is a psychological study, really, of love and hatred, pain and pleasure, dominance and submission, and raw, carnal lust of the most depraved sort...a level of consciousness we would shun...unless, of course, it was us being held prisoner against our will, bullied by a lesbian matron and attacked by ferocious Doberman Pinschers. Maybe we, too, would crawl and grovel for our freedom.
