subjected to internal examinations at the hands
of [male] attendants there – and under very
unsanitary conditions.

Dr. Hays casefinding ardors sends him in pursuit of
promiscuous women and he equates this category with
the female jail population [that is] overwhelming
composed of demonstrators – housewives and their
daughters, products of stable homes, good
churchwomen, and above all, women so idealistically
responsible and courageous as to challenge tyranny by
the sacrifice of their dignity and well-being in the jails.
