I wish there could have been a follow up to this film. I find myself watching it over and over again wondering whatever happened to these women. One thing I suppose that we know for sure is that they are all dead.
Breaks my heart , oh dear God such utter cruelty , poor Lucy she never had a chance , threw in a room & locked up for good …..who the hell gave these people the right to make these laws , you horrible wicked people , God Love all these people in this video , broke my heart watching this .
I know it was a long time ago, but so sad to think that she was committed simply because she had a child out of wedlock. Just goes to show how much society’s changed x
she was just put away, locked. How is this possible ? just by having 2 children. how evil
How very sad God Bless them may they be at peace
This lady brakes my heart all her life
you get less for murder in the UK now, she did 40 years for nothing
Heart breaking…totally horrific what atrocities people can inflict on each other….
.. this expression of human life is so sad. Lucy was robbed of her life .. and her chance to feel motherhood. So sad. Would anyone who knew her, .. family .. friends,….. feel able to express their memories of Lucy please ? Or indeed, would anyone feel able to recall .. the life and experiences of others who too were incarcerated. I feel, .. absolute aching heart …… and so soon ago in history. I feel that each of these persons should be accounted for .. respected in some sort of plaque at the very least. Or a remembrance garden, which highlights and gives some indication that many lives were ruined and taken without justice. Stating that times have changed does nothing to honour those who must’ve suffered immeasurably. Although a peace garden sadly cannot help them now, at least it might serve as a mark of respect and a symbol that people were wronged. Culturally we learn and adapt and change, but to do so we are standing on the ….. immeasurable suffering and .. day after day after day of incarcerated .. what must’ve been incomprehensible suffering .. and the way patients must have tried to cope mentally feels impossible to grasp. I wish we could name every one who was detained here …… and give each of them a place in our hearts.
We as humans are still learning and making colossal mistakes.
Heartbreaking
EVERY LIFE DOES MATTER IN THE EYES OF GOD JUST LOCKING WOMEN UP FOR HAVING AN ILLEGITIMATE BABY THAT’S WRONG IT ROBBED THIS LADY OF HER LIFE
Heavy these dudes needed more than a few hours to get together
yes thats very true,women who had babys back then were shunned
Lucy was a bit of a girl wasn’t she…love her.
Lucy didn’t become a bit of a slag, she became a total slag.
WOW this is tragic. How can anyone justify this .
My poor aunt was sent away as she was raped at age 19 until her 70’s so sad
This is very very sad and needs to be addressed now!!!!!!!!
Shame on their families
yes it is sad to see these women!
there would be an awful lot of women in mental homes these days, by those standards!
Very sad film. Such a waste.
No wonder my Mum didn’t talk much about her past,
Obviously this illegitimacy thing didn’t last, as a stigma.
I wonder whether her children tried to look for Lucy
Orrr God bless the ladys, you picture your nanna it she was in there shoes.
Bet Lucy was a real looker back in her day.. by the sounds of it, men couldn’t stop getting her preggers.
Did Lucy have learning difficulties?
Terrible.
