The article focuses on the ill treatment of convict Susan McDougal in the Sybil Brand Institute for Women in Los Angeles. Since being sent to jail on September 9, McDougal has experienced a number of sanctions. Her first, three months were spent in the Faulkner County Detention Center in Arkansas, in a unit built for ten and holding twice that number. McDougal's next jail is in Carswell Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, where she's soon consigned to the maximum security section, with hard women serving thirty-to-forty-year sentences on drug charges. And then the largest women's jail in the world, the Sybil Brand Institute. She is on K-10 status, which means isolation from all other inmates.
