UNUSUAL'
J sdmsv- jk
KATE. vJ. ADAM3
for a young woman to condemn
herself to prison, to sentence herself
for a year to the labor of scrubbing
floors, scouring tins and washing
dishes. It's rather heroic, too, for a
young woman to forsake a luxurious
home, legions of friends and an in
teresting social life to spend one year
in prison.
But it's this unusual thing that an
unusual young woman, Miss Kate
Adams of Coulter House, originator
of the "Kate Adams Law," has done.
Some day during the Christmas
season Miss Adams will enter the
New York state reformatory at Bed
ford, N. Y., she will assume prison
garb, and for a month she will live
the life of a prisoner, and while she
is "serving time" she will endeavor to
.win the confidence of her fellow pris-,
oners, to gain the personal viewpoint
of the prison woman.
Miss Adams will be a "prisoner"
in Glenn Mills Darling, Pa., Sher
wood prison, New York, and several
other women's prisons.
