Excerpt from Report of Select Committee Appointed to Visit Charitable Institutions Supported by the State and All City and County Poor and Work Houses and Jails of the State of New York: Transmitted to the Legislature, January 9, 1857 The discipline of such an asylum should not, of course, be the ordinary discipline of prisons; but provision should be made for the employment of its inmates in such modes of labor as may conduce to their support, with due regard to their health, and to their physical and mental improvement. Their insanity having been duly ascertained by the inquisition of a jury before their removal from the prison proper, they should be legally presumed to be insane and retained in the asylum, until another inquisition shall establish their sanity, and they should then be recommitted to prison to pay the prescribed penalty for their crimes. The prison physician should therefore be required in all cases, whether of feigned insanity or of presumed restoration to reason, to apply to the proper tribunal for an inquisition to establish the fact, and the verdict of the jury should determine the question of confinement whether in the prison or in the asylum.

Mental Institutions in America
Author: Gerald N. Grob
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351505718
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 682
Book Description
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.
