At Sander's Bay, female lepers were accommodated. Males were housed at the neighbouring Coco Bay in order to reduce sexual contact. A strict morality was enforced by the Dominican Sisters who oversaw the settlement. However, all of this changed during World War II when the Medical Superintendent give authorisation for males and females to visit one another before 6pm, much to the chagrin of the Dominican Nuns. After this new rule was applied, the birth rate increased on the island and a nun was trained at the colonial hospital to assist with deliveries. It must be added that immediately after the birth, the child was placed in an orphanage never to see their parents again. Not much is left of the colony today. Many of the structures have fallen to ruins over time or have been overtaken by nature.
