A Woman’s Prison Ministry

In New York City, Mrs. Shaffer, a lady of means and education, visits daily, it is said, the chief prisons of the city, converses with prisoners, and learns their histories. If she concludes that a prisoner is innocent, she gives bail where it is accepted, secures a lawyer, and has never yet failed to win a case on its merits. It is said, too, that during all her work of this sort, her confidence has never been misplaced.
