9. There was no escape during the year under review.
10. Health.—The general health of the prisoners was good throughout
the year. The number of admissions to the Jail Hospital was 191 against 144
in 1915. There were 3 deaths as against 3 in 1915.
11. There was one juvenile prisoner in Jail on 1st January 1916,
9 boys were admitted during the year under review making a total of 10
juveniles of whom 9 were released and one was transferred to Agra Central

12. The profits from Jail manufactures amounted to R100-2-9 against
R 2,917-9-4 in 1915 and the average earning per head of prisoners employed

profits is attributed to the enhanced cost of raw materials.

the prisoners, including that incurred (1) by the Public Works Department
on the buildings and repairs and (2) by Magistrates in guarding and maintain-
ing under-trial prisoners amounted to R37,445-8-7. The average cost per
