Bathing Is Compulsory-- Part 2: Cleanliness, Sunlight and Fresh Air for All

There are signs set up on movable bulletin boards.  They have pictures and captions.  Some of the others:

HOUSE OF DETENTION    MENTAL AND MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS:  Are essential in order to make intelligent disposition of cases.

There's a bed for every inmate:  Then there are pictures of a white girls bedroom, colored girls dormitory and dining room.  (Apparently there is segregation in D.C. back in 1922.)

Then a bulletin board showing pictures of the employee dining room, shelter for stranded girls.  "There is Cleanliness, Sunlight and Fresh Air for all."

Still More on Those Boards.  --FreshAirCooter
