On this day in 1889, San Francisco teen Alice Glenn was so "obstreperous" at the Boys & Girls Club that she was sentenced to the city's Magdalen Asylum, a prison for teen girls run by the Sisters of Mercy. She was one of hundreds of girls sent to The Mag between 1866 and 1903. pic.twitter.com/b2DuvFe5Gj
