A lady in Nashville was making a visit to the penitentiary and was permitted to look through the various wards. In one room she saw three women engaged in sewing, and turning to the keeper, who was shoving her about, said to him in an undertone, “Dear me! The viciousest [sic] looking women I ever saw in my life! What are they put there for!” “They are here,” he replied, “because I am here – they are my wife and daughters, madam.”
