Woods is a narrative work likely written in the late 19th century. The text presents an insightful portrayal of a woman's experiences as a matron at a penitentiary, touching on themes of compassion, justice, and reform within the penal system. Through her observations and interactions with the female prisoners, Woods delves into the difficulties faced by incarcerated women and critiques the harsh realities of their treatment. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist reflects on a compelling newspaper advertisement seeking a matron for the penitentiary, eventually leading her to accept the position. Upon her arrival, she grapples with overwhelming emotions as she confronts the stark environment of the prison, including the bleak living conditions of the inmates. The opening chapters highlight her initial struggles with authority and management, her desire to implement compassion within the prison's rigid structure, and the challenges presented by both the physical environment and the institutional rules that govern the lives of the prisoners. Her experiences are marked by a deepening awareness of the complex dynamics at play within the walls of the penitentiary.
