In 1719, prisoners in Paris were offered freedom on the condition that they marry prostitutes and relocate to Louisiana. This was part of a colonization strategy orchestrated by John Law, a Scottish economist and financier who was instrumental in France’s efforts to develop its Louisiana territory.

Facing challenges in attracting voluntary settlers to Louisiana, Law’s Mississippi Company resorted to populating the colony with individuals from the fringes of society. This included prisoners, prostitutes, and other marginalized individuals. In September 1719, male prisoners were released from Parisian jails under the condition that they marry female convicts—many labeled as prostitutes—and emigrate to Louisiana. These couples were often shackled together until they boarded ships bound for the colony.

The women involved, sometimes referred to as “correction girls,” were frequently rounded up from the streets, orphanages, and hospitals. Some were arrested on dubious charges or for minor offenses. The conditions during their forced migration were harsh; many suffered from disease and malnutrition, and a significant number died during the journey or shortly after arrival.

This colonization effort was short-lived. By 1720, due to protests from existing colonists and the evident failure of the scheme, the French government banned such deportations. Nevertheless, a final ship carrying prisoners arrived in 1721.
