Agnes McCaffery, Nora Fitzgerald /October 15, 2022 by Beth Winegarner

Today in 1898, 15yo Agnes McCaffery and 16yo Nora Fitzgerald were sentenced to the SF Magdalen Asylum. It seems that they were just living their lives, in a boarding-house in SoMa, when the cops began harassing and chasing them. Just read. It's wild. pic.twitter.com/qkrYxX5rtW
