Discuss the importance of the work of Sarah Smith and Rhoda Coffin in the 1870s.
What will be an ideal response?
In 1869, Sarah Smith and Rhoda Coffin, two Quaker activists, were appointed to inspect correctional facilities, both in Indiana (the state in which they lived) and in other areas of the nation. They concluded that the state of morals and integrity among staff in female prisons was deplorable and they spearheaded a social campaign against the sexual abuse that they had discovered in Indiana prisons. Their work led to the first completely separate female prison in 1874. By 1940, 23 states had separate women’s prisons.
