Dorothea Dix got involved with prison reform because of her personal experience witnessing the poor conditions and treatment of the mentally ill in prisons while teaching a Sunday school class at a local jail. This experience motivated her to advocate for better treatment and conditions for the mentally ill in prisons, eventually leading to significant reforms. (Citations: Watkins, JTB. 1971. Dorothea Lynde Dix - Thesis. University of Richmond, Richmond, VA; Brown University Library. “Dorothea Lynde Dix Papers.”)
It was reported that she had little sympathy for antislavery and "remained convinced till the end of her life that the solution to the problem of race was to ship the African-American population back to Africa."
