When I travel people frequently ask where I am from. Of course, most have never heard of Ritchie, Wilmington or Will County.
But when I say that the county seat is Joliet, a light comes on and they say, “You mean like Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues Brothers?”
Like it or not, our county is associated with the old Joliet Penitentiary. Our subject today is Mollie Brown, a female inmate at that very institution.
