Indiana Insanity Law Reform Urged After Charities Board Inquiry
The Indiana state board of charities reports no sane patients in mental hospitals over the past eighteen months and urges law changes to curb improper inquests. It cites Marion Wayne and Allen counties, notes costs of inquests, and proposes court supervised hearings with notices and separate facilities for indigent patients. It highlights Wayne county clothing abuses and calls for uniform administration and accountability.
