Sanatorium, April 20—The new State Prison Sanatorium, the first of its kind in the United States, opened April 18 with 11 tuberculosis prisoners. Three of the prisoners are white, eight colored. It is a division of the North Carolina Sanatorium, under the supervision of the Sanatorium management. The prisoner patients will be kept under guard, but otherwise they will receive the same care and treatment that other tuberculosis persons in the State Sanatorium do. The building is a modern fireproof construction, combining a prison’s barred windows with the main features of a sanatorium.
The Board of Directors of the North Carolina Sanatorium met at the institution April 15, Dr. W.M. Long, Roanoke Rapids, presiding. The usual routine business was conducted. The new member of the Board, Mr. A.B. Croom of Wilmington, did not attend the meeting because the time between his appointment and the meeting had been so short.
