Aunt Jane, the Klepto

Posted by Cheryl on March 25, 1998 at 13:45:18:

What an interesting episode, Aunt Jane Leigh-Perrot arrested for shoplifting! I have some questions about the prison she was in. It didn't sound like my image of a prison; her husband can stay with her? She can have live-in company (Mrs. Austen volunteering her daughters for company! Gee, thanks Mom.)? A family with children as the jailers? It sounds like some kind of a house.

I am totally ignorant of what is going on here, can someone explain it to me? I thought about asking this at Life and Times, but it is spoken of in the Tomalin, so thought I'd be safe asking here. ;-)
