Poor farm report prompts radical reform in state care
A statewide commission urges overhaul of poor farms after Harler's report details neglect and inmate conditions. Findings describe overcrowded, underfunded facilities with inmates including children and the elderly, many suffering from illnesses and disabilities. The study lists farm by farm data on acres, value, rooms, and per capita costs, highlighting Greenbrier County as the largest state farm and noting substantial investments across counties.
