The San Francisco Industrial School was a precursor to juvenile hall; a place where kids who'd committed crimes or who led an "idle and dissolute life" were sentenced. Boys went to a facility also called the Industrial School; girls went to the Magdalen Asylum.

I don't have the follow-up articles, but the girls weren't released. In the early 1900s the Mag became the St. Catherine's Home, and I don't know if it was still the girls' branch of the Industrial School after that, but it remained a girls' prison until 1931.
