Iowa to Close Rockwell City and Clarinda Institutions
Iowa Department of Social Services plan calls for closing the Rockwell City women’s reformatory and the Clarinda mental health institute by June 30, 1975 with patients moved to Mount Pleasant Cherokee Independence facilities. The proposal also consolidates youth training schools at Eldora and Mitchellville into a single Iowa Youth Development Center and reshapes the Annie Wittenmyer Home, while phasing out certain centers and expanding community services. Opposition cites legality concerns and a pending Clarinda closure, as admissions end by Feb 28, 1974.
