Her later days spent in a "detention hospital," that turned her life upside down when she got out. A well-living woman, she later struggled to find work and a husband in her lifetime due to the stigmatization of being a prostitue.

Though McCall sued the government she found limited success. Mr. Stern went through court transcripts to find on her hardships to present his book.

New Republic reports that Nina later married a man named Norman, settled in Saginaw, Michigan, and later moved to Bay City in 1949. 

The couple's three children died young while she fell ill with a brain tumor in the mid-1950s. Nina passed away at the 56 in a nursing home.

During the world war crisis, a heavy number of American soldiers got engaged in illicit relationships with local women and prostitutes. To control the spread of venereable diseases, the U.S. government had imposed "American Plan" to control the situation to fail.

To the irony, the soldiers and men were never charged, instead, women were detained, tested for STDs, and locked up in prison for the sake of treatment.

Moreover, any local woman tested positive to STD was branded a prostitute and thrown into "detention" for curing their illness.

However, instead of proper medical supply, those women were exposed to continuous doses of mercury and arsenic, toxic chemicals which poisoned their bodies but did not cure the diseases.

Stern's impressive work of bringing back the forgotten history is quite impressive and respected.
