Inside the Nation's Asylums A Call to End Inhumane Treatment

A critical examination of U S asylum conditions argues that political influence corrupts care in Cook County and other facilities. Attendants power, patronage, and bribery lead to neglect, abuse, and cover ups, with inmates starved for food and oversight while dishonesty festers. The piece urges sympathy and reform to curb brutality and mismanagement.

Political reform urged for American asylums and female doctors in charge

A stark critique argues asylums run by politicians deprive patients of food and care. It calls for drastic reform including appointing female physicians to oversee female patients, cites Milwaukee County Hospital abuses, and urges public pressure to remove political influence from care institutions.
