Article here. Excerpt:

'The economist served two months in prison after her defence that she was coerced by her husband Chris Huhne to take his speeding points failed.

Ms Pryce was first sent to Holloway Prison before she was transferred to an open prison and said she came across a lot of women who had “taken the rap for what others had done” and felt prison was not the best place for them.

Ms Pryce, 61, wrote a book - Prisonomics - about her experience of her incarceration and subsequent two months on tag at her home in London.

She told the Mail on Sunday: “What really did it was talking to the women in Holloway and realising they were there mostly because of some thing their husbands, brothers, fathers, had done.'

Either everyone's innocent ("My lawyer sucked!") or some woman was behind it. One thing repeat offenders in particular are notirious for is not taking responsibility for their actions. This is why they keep committing crimes and keep going back to jail.

This phenom knows no limits by sex. But while the public generally doesn't accept male convicts' claims that some woman should really take the rap, it does when such a claim is made by or for female convicts.
