In addition to "vagrancy" and "incorrigibility", the third large category under which female inmates in the Pacific County Jail were booked in the early 1900's was "insanity". While many of the women labeled insane in the County's Jail Book were transferred to the State Insane Asylum in Steilacoom, Washington, others were simply released from jail, presumably able to resume their lives as law-abiding citizens. "Insane" may have been a catch-all term used for those who were disturbing the peace or otherwise not acting according to the accepted norms of female behavior.
