Miss Susan Brown is 25 years old and has been a night nurse at a hospital since last April. She works 8 night on 6 nights off from 9:15 at night to 8:00 o'clock the next morning. She worked as an office cleaner before she came to the hospital, for she hadn't enjoyed that experience at all. It perhaps is surprising that Susan chose to work at night permanently. She felt she needed a change for one thing, and for another, she hoped to eventually to be come a head nurse. She has also found that a night nurse's work is physically less demanding that a cleaner's, and she can sleep 8 hours during the day. Of course, there are some problems in her daily life. The most serious problem is the headache she get from the dim lighting in the hospital. She doesn't have time to wash her long hair for 8 working days and she has to learn to pack all her social activities into 6 days out of a fortnight. But on the whole, she feels very happy.

Passage Two
Cottonville is a new prison specially designed for women criminals in Scotland. The 226 prisoners there live in small units of 7 rooms. There is a kitchen where they cook their own meals and a lounge for the fitted carpet and armchairs. The "wake up, wake up" call by loudspeakers at 7:00 every morning is followed by a music program which creates atmosphere of a holiday camp. During the day, most of the prisoners are employed in 3 workshops, making toys or clothing. Their earnings up to 90 pennies a week can be spent in the prison shop. The gymnasium, which also acts as a cinema and concert hall, ahs facilities for table tennis, basketball and dancing. Prisoners, particularly those of long sentences are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for themselves and others. This is in many ways much more demanding than simply serving time. Just as the deputy governor of this prison once said "'We try to preserve the prisoners' respect as much as possible by imagining ourselves in their position." His words explained why this new prison is run in a unique way.
