Sybil Brand
Sybil Brand (née Morris, – February 17, 2004)〔 was an American philanthropist and activist, known for her work in improving jail conditions for women in Los Angeles. She was the namesake of the Sybil Brand Institute (SBI), a women's jail in Los Angeles County. SBI was closed after the 1994 Northridge earthquake.〔 ==Early life== Sybil Morris was born in Chicago, Illinois〔 〕 to immigrant parents Abraham W. (–1951) and Hattie Morris (–1969) sometime between 1899 and 1903.〔 Her father, a stockbroker, relocated the family to Los Angeles when Sybil was two years old.〔.〕 At age twelve, she began what would become a lifelong pursuit of charity and volunteering when she organized a diaper hemming program with the other girls in her class. Brand would later recall being inspired by meeting a young triple amputee in a hospital at the insistence of her mother.
