County Poor Asylum Study Reveals Gender Imbalance and Facility Gaps
A 1902 county charity report shows 2167 men and 1111 women in Indiana county asylums, with many facilities underheated, poorly lighted, and lacking proper sanitation. Insane, epileptic, and crippled inmates dominate, while state support remains inadequate.
Statewide praise for well managed county asylums
The report contrasts better run county institutions with an asylum, noting counties such as St Joseph Porter Marshall Adams Madison Parke Henry Kosciusko Ben Won Orange Clark Dubois Posey and others maintain clean home like facilities. The care of inmates is prioritized and statewide management trends are improving.
