Synopsis

This book provides a thorough overview of the institutions of the state of Indiana in 1904, as observed through a state-mandated investigation into their operations. The investigation was born from the need to address the growing population and increase in the cost of maintaining these institutions, and was conducted by a committee appointed by the Governor to visit each institution and document its state. The report provides detailed descriptions of the buildings, grounds, equipment, supplies, and operations of each institution, providing valuable insight into the conditions of care and treatment in these facilities at the turn of the 20th century. The committee made recommendations for appropriations to meet the needs of each institution, as well as suggestions for improvements and changes to their operations. This book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in the history of mental illness, healthcare, and institutionalization in the United States. It provides a unique glimpse into the lives of those living in these institutions and the challenges faced by those responsible for their care.
