Behind The Bars For Being Ill

Behind The Bars For Being Ill image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, February 22, 1937
Caption
Behind The Bars For Being Ill - In jails throughout the Lower Peninsula of Michigan are many persons who are there not because they are guilty of crime, but because they have been stricken with mental disease. Although they have been legally committed to a state mental institution for the special hospital treatment and care their illness demands, they are kept in jail for indefinite periods because the hospitals are so overloaded they cannot be taken in. Meanwhile they are robbed of some of their chances for relief or recovery. More than 1,000 sick minds now wait outside the overcrowded hospitals to which they have been assigned. Not all are in jail, many being kept at home or allowed to roam about with possible latent danger to themselves or to others. Not all jails are so "pleasant" as the one pictured above, which is new and modern.

Caption
'HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING!' Dictionaries list cherubim as just a little below full-grade angels and certainly the shepherds on that first Christmas must have seen some of them along with the angels proclaiming Christ's birth. These five cherubs are among many in Ann Arbor who help modern-day celebrants of Christmas worship at the manger. Selected at random from the Junior Choir of First Methodist Church, they are (left to right) Carol Johnson, Phil Ditto, Tom Hinterman, Johnny Shoemaker and Diane Scott. The choir is directed by Mrs. Richard A. Correll.
