A Matter of Semantics

Men's Prison. Women's Reformatory. Is the assumption that women can be reformed and men must simply be restrained?

Thought of that this morning when one of the Manson family killers was interviewed from the California Women's Reformatory where she's been held for 40+ years. She's begging to be released. Has she been reformed? What has she leared in 40 years?

I know what I've learned in 40 years. It's been quite a bit.
