Prison Physician Sees Defects in Hospital.—Prison Physician Pray, of Jackson, Mich., has called to the attention of the State Prison Board of Control of Michigan the lack of facilities in the prison hospital for the segregation of contagious diseases, especially tuberculosis. Mr. Pray declares 50 per cent. of tubercular cases would not end fatally if they were taken care of in time. It is stated that an effort will be made by the board to prevent the commitment to prison of persons in the last stages of consumption.
