brutality. indifference to suffering, re-
fusal to treat women prisoners in child

their solitary confinement to be con.

George w. Blake, the investigator,

women to bear children with only such
attendants as could be found among
the other female prisoners, including
such nurses" as Mrs. August Mack,
