INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread OF the scour9e
of Tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons In fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment OF
their tuberculosis prisoners. These IN
situations can accommodate. however.
only 500 patients. In three-fourths OF
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner Is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners. very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode OF
prison life Is considered. the danger OF
infection becomes greater than In the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila. where accommoda-
lions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest Is Clinton prison hos
pital In New York. which provides for
$50.
