S4 E36: Sarah Haviland Part 3: The First Woman in the Michigan State Prison

In this episode, I conclude the three part series on the story of Sarah Haviland.

In this final segment, I explore what happened to Sarah after she was sent to prison in 1966 at the Michigan State Prison in Jackson, Michigan. I also cover what her experience was, compared to other prisoners, and carry her story all the way through to her pardon by Governor Treadway Rich in 1896.

I also cover the research I conducted on where her three murdered children are buried, and what I was able to uncover on the lives of her surviving children.

I further discuss my two years of research on this story, which led to it being a major story in the book Victorian Southwest Michigan True Crime, which was published in 2024.
