§28-3-7. Return or transfer of incorrigible girls and those
diseased at time of commitment; expenses.
If, at the time of, or after the admission of any girl to
the Industrial Home, it is discovered that she was pregnant, or
had syphilis, gonorrhea, or any other infectious disease at the
time of her commitment, or was otherwise ineligible for
admission, or should she become incorrigible or unmanageable,
such girl may be returned to the court or judge by whom she was
committed to the home, or, at the discretion of the state
commissioner of public institutions, may be transferred
temporarily to some other institution for care or treatment, or
otherwise disposed of as said commissioner may deem best. The
expense incurred in returning such girl to the court or judge by
whom she was committed for any or all of the above stated
reasons, or by reason of transfer to any other state institution
shall be paid by the county court out of the treasury of the
county from which the girl was committed to the home.
