Excerpt: Winter Fair building was at once placed at the disposal of the government by its directors, and the patients temporarily but comfortably housed therein, while plans were immediately got under way for a new hospital, to be of fireproof construction throughout, with pressed brick and cut-stone walls, metal roof, iron stairways, elevators, and fully equipped for hospital purposes with the most modern plumbing, ventilating and heating, the last to be supplied from a power plant apart from the hospital buildings, pipes passing thereto through a tunnel. It was designed to have a frontage of 425 feet with two additional wings, and to be three stories high with basement. Accommodation was to be provided for 1000 patients at an estimated cost of $1,000.000. The work of erection was begun early in the spring of 1911, and on December 2, 1912, the patients were moved from the Winter Fair building to their new quarters. The formal opening was held in February, 1913.1 The present population is 485. HOME FOR INCURABLES. Portage La Prairie. This institution, located at Portage la Prairie, a town some 50 miles west of Winnipeg, was opened in June, 1890. It was not really intended for mental cases, but owing to the lack of room in the Selkirk Asylum, there were transferred to it therefrom, on its opening, some 17 quiet patients of the idiotic type. This action, combined with the fact that imbeciles and idiots are by law non-admissible to the insane hospitals, ...

Book excerpt: An urgent exposé of the mental health crisis in our courts, jails, and prisons America has made mental illness a crime. Jails in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago each house more people with mental illnesses than any hospital. As many as half of all people in America's jails and prisons have a psychiatric disorder. One in four fatal police shootings involves a person with such disorders. In this revelatory book, journalist Alisa Roth goes deep inside the criminal justice system to show how and why it has become a warehouse where inmates are denied proper treatment, abused, and punished in ways that make them sicker. Through intimate stories of people in the system and those trying to fix it, Roth reveals the hidden forces behind this crisis and suggests how a fairer and more humane approach might look. Insane is a galvanizing wake-up call for criminal justice reformers and anyone concerned about the plight of our most vulnerable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental Institutions in America: Social Policy to 1875 examines how American society responded to complex problems arising out of mental illness in the nineteenth century. All societies have had to confront sickness, disease, and dependency, and have developed their own ways of dealing with these phenomena. The mental hospital became the characteristic institution charged with the responsibility of providing care and treatment for individuals seemingly incapable of caring for themselves during protracted periods of incapacitation. The services rendered by the hospital were of benefit not merely to the afflicted individual but to the community. Such an institution embodied a series of moral imperatives by providing humane and scientific treatment of disabled individuals, many of whose families were unable to care for them at home or to pay the high costs of private institutional care. Yet the mental hospital has always been more than simply an institution that offered care and treatment for the sick and disabled. Its structure and functions have usually been linked with a variety of external economic, political, social, and intellectual forces, if only because the way in which a society handled problems of disease and dependency was partly governed by its social structure and values. The definition of disease, the criteria for institutionalization, the financial and administrative structures governing hospitals, the nature of the decision-making process, differential care and treatment of various socio-economic groups were issues that transcended strictly medical and scientific considerations. Mental Institutions in America attempts to interpret the mental hospital as a social as well as a medical institution and to illuminate the evolution of policy toward dependent groups such as the mentally ill. This classic text brilliantly studies the past in depth and on its own terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides a glimpse of psychiatric care given to the mentally unstable during the early 1900s explaining how the medical officers gave internal care in those times when society was far more rigid about these illnesses than in the present times. It presents an accurate account of all the facilities provided to the patients, the tasks they were assigned, and its effect on their mental health and overall functioning. These chores mainly included indulging the patients in farming, cultivation, etc. The subject of this report deals with employment as a means of treating and caring for the mentally ill in need of help, and the colony here is an instrument of finding practical and profitable work for the patients. Colony treatment means establishing buildings at some distance from the central hospital and admitting psychiatric patients there to be under the control and management of the hospital officers.
