Thank you - So apparently, the initial women that they sent were "casquette girls" then they sent these "correction girls" during a very specific period or region. I wasn't aware of that, was only familiar with the former and the Kings daughters which are seen from a positive light and had much better treatment.

Did the author just make up a new term?
This doesn't feel accurate at all, but I'm not going to spend time debunking this with French sources.
Wikipedia really has to be taken with a grain of salt.
The source and bibliography is available. The 1885 book listed at the bottom of the article refer to them as "Correction" girls (with quotes).

As a french canadian this page sounds pretty similar to what we refer to as "les filles du roi"
