Tuberculosis Control in Ohio State Reformatory

(1) With Comparative Study of Two Year Periods. (2) With Survey of Penal Institutions in the United States and Canada. (3) With Recommendations for More Complete Control Measures.

OREN A. BEATTY M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and JOHN V. HORST M.D.2

1 Richland County Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Mansfield, Ohio.
2 Ohio State Reformatory, Mansfield, Ohio.

1) An active tuberculosis control program has been followed in this institution for four years with reduction in the incidence of tuberculosis from 3.67 per cent to 2.1 per cent.

2) The tuberculosis control program in 78 penal institutions in the United States and Canada is inadequate in almost all institutions answering the questionnaire.

3) All institutions could markedly decrease the incidence of tuberculosis by actively engaging in a tuberculosis control program with the facilities available.

4) The basis of any control program is built around a place for isolation and treatment. In large populous States, this may be a penal tuberculosis hospital. In smaller States, it may be a penal section in a State or County tuberculosis hospital. In other States, it may be a tuberculosis division of a large penal hospital.
