The "Prison Special" was a train tour organized by suffragists who, as members of the Silent Sentinels and other demonstrations, had been jailed for picketing the White House in support of passage of the federal women's suffrage amendment. In February 1919, 26 members of the National Woman's Party boarded a chartered train they dubbed the "Democracy Limited" in Washington, D.C. They visited cities across the country where they spoke to large crowds about their experiences as political prisoners at Occoquan Workhouse, and were typically dressed in their prison uniforms. The tour, which concluded in March 1919, helped create support for the ratification effort that ended with the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment on August 26, 1920.

  • El " Prison Special " fue un viaje en tren organizado por sufragistas que, como miembros de Silent Sentinels y otras manifestaciones, habían sido encarceladas por hacer piquetes en la Casa Blanca en apoyo de la aprobación de la enmienda federal sobre el sufragio femenino.​ En febrero de 1919, 26 miembros del Partido Nacional de Mujeres abordaron un tren fletado al que llamaron "Democracy Limited" en Washington, DC Visitaron ciudades de todo el país donde hablaron a grandes multitudes sobre sus experiencias como prisioneras políticas en Occoquan Workhouse, a las que fueron vestidas con sus uniformes de prisión. La gira, que concluyó en marzo de 1919, ayudó a crear apoyo para el esfuerzo de ratificación que terminó con la adopción de la Decimonovena Enmienda el 26 de agosto de 1920. (es)
