Many Women In State Prison For Life Mutes Reform Talk
State prison records show more women than ever inside the penitentiary with sixty five female inmates. Debate grows for a separate women’s prison likely to enter 1922 legislative session. Included are Cook family members from Lexington County serving life terms for the Marcellus Cook murder. Mrs Marcellus Cook and daughter Mimie occupy the longest sentences. Two other women and three men also linked to the crime are incarcerated, with Mimie to spend life in the women’s quarters. Women and men workers are employed in the chair factory and foundry, paid for their labor, though facilities for women are smaller due to fewer inmates.
