Female Prisoners :—
There were 147 females admitted.
The average daily number was 38.
41 cases were under treatment and no deaths occurred.
General Statistics:-
The total admissions were 3,286.
The daily average of prisoners was 600.
The total admissions to hospital for illness were 174.
As in 1916 the dengue epidemic cases (107) are not counted in this total.
Their number and the necessity for segregation rendered these cases hospital patients but for the most part, as far as the severity of the disease was an indication, they could have been out-patients.
The total number of prisoners who received treatment in the out-patient department was 998.
The daily average attendance at the out-patient room was 42.8 and in the hospital 9.2.
Vaccinations.-2,244 prisoners were vaccinated and of this number 945 were successful, 718 were unsuccessful, and 581 were not examined owing to early discharge at the expiration of their sentence.
During the year 500 prisoners were examined with a view to ascertaining whether they were infected with certain common intestinal parasites on admission to gaol,
It was found that over 60% were harbouring the round worm (ascaris lumbricoides), almost 50% the whip-worm (tricocephalus dispar), and 22% the hook-worm (ankylostomum duodenale).
