Not illustrated. 1845 edition. Excerpt: ... constructed, and out of repair. This, comparatively, is of little consequence. It was dirty, ill-kept and neglected. A wall, nearly twenty-five feet high, plastered within, surrounded the exercise yard. There were no criminal prisoners: the only occupants of the jail apartments, when I was there in August, were two madmen, in chains; if the rats, of which I heard some intimation, are not included in the category. The men were chained and in separate rooms, or one in a passage, and the other in a room, apart for their mutual safety. I did not see their food, and know nothing of its quantity or quality. I saw no bedstead, nor any furniture. The man in the outer room, or passage, was somewhat cleaner than the other, but I must be excused from entering upon special details; the other was covered with soot, and coal-dust and dirt, and was extended upon the floor, clanking his chains, and beating his head, shouting and singing. Here fell no ray of comfort, hope, or consolation. One of these men is decidedly homicidal, and, with the exception of a short interval, has been, I was informed, in prison fifteen years. On one occasion, becoming violently excited at seeing an intoxicated man put into his room, and possibly provoked by him, for no one knows how it was, he fell upon and murdered him in the most shocking manner. When the keeper came to visit his prisoners, a horrible spectacle presented itself--the murdered drunkard, mangled and lifeless: the madman exulting in the deed and covered with the blood of his victim! He also when at large burned a building. The other man has been insane about seven years. Both are dangerous, and are subject to paroxysms of fury. Every person must comprehend something of the difficulties of taking care of the...

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.
