Admitted into a notorious adult psychiatric clinic when aged only 14 years old, Raphaela Angelou survived the most painful experiences of any young life. She was beaten and raped by other patients right under the watchful eyes of those entrusted with her care. But her tragedy lay in wait even after this nightmare.
Raphaela's story has all the trappings of an exciting Underbelly story, but this is no mere entertaining drama - it is all too real and too recent in Australias history. Her mind was turtured, her body broken but her fighting spirit and her faith ensured her survival.
Truly an inictment on the New South Wales legal and health services of the 1980s and 1990s,Raphaela has survived her ordeals and lived to tell.
