I'm fascinated (in a horrified kind of way) that women could be jailed for waywardness or incorrigibility - particularly that parents would have their daughters jailed for it. From pp. 9-10: "Young women were being locked up for months, and possibly years, over offences that amounted to little more than leaving their parents' home without permission, or carrying on with an unsuitable man."
