Criminally Insane Move from State Prision to State Hospital, Jan. 3, 1925

State Hospital Takes All the Insane Prisoners

Raleigh, Jan. 2—State Hospital took over the criminally insane prisoners of State prison yesterday afternoon when 55 persons were transferred to the new building of the hospital erected for this purpose.

Under the system worked out by Dr. Albert Anderson, in charge of the hospital, the prisoners will be kept indoors as much as possible and always under lock and key with guards. There will be no guns used in handling them as the hospital attendants are not allowed to carry guns.
