As a child I was confined to a Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium at 31st and California in 1955-56. The buildings are still there and used by the Sheriff's Department. Everyone thinks the northside MTS facility is where everyone was sent but that was only true if you were 14 yrs or older. Children under 14 were sent to the southside facility. At the time I was there, only one building was occupied
