The State Hospital for the Dangerous Insane was established in 1901 and located within the existing State Prison in Raleigh, North Carolina, and served the entire state. Before the establishment of the hospital, the criminally insane patients had been placed under the care of the staff of the State Hospital at Raleigh, which was located across the street from the prison, and housed in one of the penitentiary buildings. Now that the care of the criminally insane was the full responsibility of the state prison, a skilled physician was hired to be in charge of the ward and would serve a four-year term before a new physician was appointed.
