More on the womens prison mess ....
Two years after this - July 2, 1948 - the prison closed its doors, at least temporarily, for the first time. The reason was that the contract between its administrators and the province had run its course. Montreal Police Director J.A. Belanger was told that the prison refused to accept 10 women from the city jail. They had been nabbed in a whorehouse on St. Hubert just south of Ontario. The prison was set in two sections, one run by the Sisters of the Good Pastor and the other by a combination of Protestant groups.
