District of Columbia Jail, 1917
Description:
Prostitutes were brought to this sleeping room and placed in beds alternating with suffrage prisoners. When the number of suffragettes being arrested surpassed the resources of the District of Columbia Jail, the prisoners were taken to the Occoquan Workhouse. Upon arrival they were taken to a showering station and ordered to strip naked, bathe, given unclean prison clothes and taken to dinner where worms were frequently found in their food. The conditions of the District Jail and the Occoquan Workhouse were very unsanitary and unsafe. Underwood & Underwood, 1917 (cropped and cleaned).
