Synopsis

This book summarizes the research and data related to the various state institutions controlled by the Board of Control of State Institutions in the state of Iowa. The report gives a comprehensive overview of the population within these institutions during the biennial period ending 30 June 1903. The volume is divided into five parts: the first gives general observations from the period, the second covers finance and statistics, the third gives statistics of the institutions themselves, and the final two contain yearly reports and summaries of the superintendents and board members. The reports track movements of populations within the institutions, including transfers, discharges, and deaths, and summarise each institution's finances, governance, and building projects. Throughout the report, the author discusses wider social issues impacting the institutions, such as those surrounding care for the insane and the difficulty of supporting inebriates within state hospitals. The book provides insights into the challenges and progress made by the Iowa state institutions during this period, and will be of interest to scholars researching social welfare and the history of mental healthcare and penology in the United States.
