REPORT ON THE PRISfftIVS OF EIVOL.-41VD.

The 23f1 Report of the Inspector of Prisons for
the south-rn d strict of Eneland was publisned last
week. Dr. Perry, the inspector, reports that the
merits of the "separate" system of chscipline con-
tinue to he recognised wherever it has been con-
sistently carried out, and that the advantages of
productive, as distinguished from merely vexatious
or punitive, labour are more and more tx-ensively
admitted every year. The difference in the expense
of prisoners is pointed out to the attentien of the
Secretary of State. In Reading gaol, for example, •
the average annual cost of a prisoner is 271.
12s. lid., while at Abingdon, in the same coon y,
it is 41/. Os. ld.. The disparity, in Dr. Peril's
opinion, suggests a careful inquiry into the cause,
which he is not prepared himself to assign. The
crank-labour system is pursued at Aylesbury gaol,
notwithstanding the disapproval of the Inspector,
who calls for the interference of Mr. Secretary Wal- •
pole. In the Devon county prison at Exeter an
old convict who had played the part of Palmer, the
poisoner, and refused to ea-, was fed for some days
by the stomach-pump. The practice of closely cut-
ting the hair of prisoners, severely denounced by
Dr. Perry in former repeats, has been tacitly
abandoned in this p,ison. Bradninch gaol is re-
rotted to be only fit for a temporary lock-up house.
At Doreheiter county gaol the dietaty is insuffi-
cient. At Poole town geo' there is no chaplain,
and thus the Act of Pardament is contravened ; aor
is there a schoolmaster. The dietary arrange-
ments of the Gloucester county gaol are still open
to grave objections, and the watit of some musical
instrument to lead the psalmody in the chapel is
pointed out as necessary to relieve the mono-
'ony uf the service and render it rather more
attractive to the prisoners,. A rule requiring mar-
ried male offieers to sleep in the gaol every night
has been wisely relneed, and they are now allured
to " sleep out" eve, y alternate night. The governor
of the Bristol City 13,-ideweli is reported I r keee-
ing his journal ir. a louse and slovenly way ; at pre-
sent it is bet a poor and imperfect Tema of occur -
renees. Dr. Perry made a prot.-st against the
(in& nded) introduction of the crank system at the
*ionthampton twn gaol. The ventilation of the
debtors' rooms there is very defective, and should
be looked to. • In the chapel of Hertford conney
gaol psalmody is very much requ'red in order
to relieve the tedium of the prayers At St.
Alban's gaol some prisenets were illegally kept in
irons, conerary to the Act of Parliament, lay, the
irregularity was to be r,ct fled. The dietary of this
gaol is deft 'tent. For Maidstene gaol a second
chaplain is urgently required. The want of some
light labour to k-ep the prisoners out of mischief
is pointed out as a fault in the House of Dateotion
at Clerkeuwell, Middlesex, and ir is suggested that
cab-drivers ought not to be commie t, d thtther for
non-payment of their dues tai the proprietors of
i their vehicles. There is a want ,if acc•matnedaion
i
at the House of C,rrection in Col, bath and
the school arrangements are bad. The want of ac-
commodation in the Westurioeter pris n is st:11
greater, and the general disorder and mismanage_
men' appear to be disgraceful. The City Prison at
Holloway, on the other hand, is spoken of by Dr.
Perry in terms of eulogy and commendation. The
state of the debtors' prison, in Whitecroseastroet,
which recently led to a change of sys!em, and the
retirement of the late governor, Mr. Burdon,
has long occupied the attention of the Corpora..
tion of the city, and most of the Inspector's sug-
gestions have ben adopted. The use of tobacco is
no longer permitted in the day rooms, nor is cook-
ing allowed there. Certain bath or lavatory ar-
rangements have added materially to the camfort
of the prisoners, and the enforcement the rule
forbidding the extnt n f entrance or "footir g"
inoney from newly-admitted prisoners has been pi o-
ductive of the best resuits. The use of Indian meal
in the Monmom.h and Usk gaols has led to com-
plaint. The governor of Bath city gaol, reported
against for misconduct, was "recommended" by
the Secretary of State to retire from office, as " the
facts of the case required his dismissal ;" but it ap-
pea's that a functionary styled the " bailiff"
declined to carry out the recomm-ndation, so that
the governor was retained in office unclgt his shit( r
The exercise and abuse of this irresponsible autho-
rity is pointed out as a gross and glaring anomaly
by Dr. Perry. In th Surrey county gaol the
want of "something to do" is felt by the prisoners.
The crank sys em flourishes in the new House of
Correction at Wandsworth ; the labeur is hard
and unproductive. The cutting and picking uf
rags for paper, however, will be introduced
shortly. Iu the Queen's Prison the discipline is
reported as lax, and the sale of spirits is carried
on to a great extent, in defiance of the law. In
the Lewes county gaol Dr. Perry recognises as a
grievance the refusal to allow the prisoners to take
any exercise on Sundays—a stretch of Sabha-
tarian strictness beyond even that of 'he Jewi-h
ceremonial law, which allowed a person on the
"Sabbath" to walk, although no,. more than two
miles. There is a rule requiring exercise every d y,
and the violation of this rule is reported to
the Secretary of State. In Salosbury county gaol
the only means of ahluti,n is at a pubic
sink, where the prisoners must strip before each
other. The debtors, too, are like the criminals,
locked up at dusk, and in winter puss 16 hours in
darkness. Hardly a prison, in shoot, in which
some grievance is not noticeable.
