I feel for 15-year-old Mabel Gaffer. After her parents died, she fell in love and tried to sell her hair to run away with her beloved. Who can blame her? I doubt she said she "wanted to lead a bad life," but by this day in 1899 she was imprisoned in the SF Magdalen Asylum. pic.twitter.com/ZdhDrfwwYf
