Why was it called Mother Higgins? Is that a nickname or was it the real name?

It's where delinquents went to spend time for their crimes and where
all juveniles went for traffic violations.
In the 1950s and 60s, Mother Higgins was located on the Freeway and
Congress, on the west frontage road just south of what was then the
Sands Motel and a radio station next door to the motel.
I can still see that building.
The name "Mother Higgins" struck terror in the hearts of all Tucson's
children and teenagers.
