Mamie Hart, Mamie Pearson, Lizzie Dunn /July 30, 2022 by Beth Winegarner

Today in 1890, SF teens Mamie Hart and Mamie Pearson were arrested in brothels and sentenced to the Magdalen Asylum, and today in 1869, Lizzie Dunn was discharged from the County Hospital and also sent to the Mag. Lizzie was likely not considered a prisoner but it isn't clear. pic.twitter.com/s1IExky5OI
