RE: Philadelphia Prisoners during WWI: Volunteering Behind Bars
This is interesting- Every time I've seen that plaque it's struck me as kind of dehumanizing. But I never realized that other folks incarcerated there had done civilian war work. I wonder how the situation differed in comparison with other wars?
Good thought! Also, @tmaust just let me know that someone recently put together the identities of the prisoners from the plaque!
