Christmas in Prison Prisoners Suited by Christmas Plans and Court
A Chicago police blotter describes Christmas in local stations as 187 inmates face gloom from confinement after Saturday night intoxication and disorders.

A veteran, James Carroll, long homeless, finds hope in a Christmas meal and bed at the workhouse while others plan court appearances or face jail.
