Hungry supplicants fed by Chicago sisters charity prison like haven
Chicago Chronicle reports on a charity shelter in a Chicago hospital that screens hungry applicants at a secured, prisonlike entrance. A carved path guides seekers to a dim dining room where meals are served by sisters with mechanical aid. The piece frames the space as hopeful, humane despite its stark, gated setting. It notes the shelter’s past issues with indigent loiterers and the deliberate conversion of space to feed those in need. It ends with a nod to the broader diamond sightings tied to glaciers, and a proposed cooperative study by university professors to trace gem origins.
