    Yes it was a sanitarium, it it wasn’t not an insane asylum or a prison. It was a health resort.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Creek_Sanitarium

    The Battle Creek Sanitarium was a world-renowned health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States.[3] It started in 1866 on health principles advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and from 1876 to 1943 was managed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.[4]
