Clare Guest House is a place in Sioux City, Iowa that offers hospitality and support to women who are released from prison. Sister Gwen Hennessey, a Franciscan Sister, manages this house. Seven years ago, Sister Gwen herself was in the Federal prison in Pekin for six months along with her older sister Dorothy, also a Franciscan Sister. They were there for their actions against the School of the Americas at Fort Benning in Georgia. It has been well documented that this is a school that teaches terrorism to soldiers from Latin America.
