The Grand Jury Warmed Up on the Subject
Of Gold Prisons.
Before Judge Ingrahanl.
This Cour: met yesterday. The only business
transacted was charging the Grand Jury. The
Judge took for his text 'Cold Prisons the subject
being called Ont. of course, by rhe regent death
from cold AZ the JEFFERSON Market Prison. HIS
charge was as follows:-
There is one subject TO which propose 10 call
your attention refer 10 tie state and condition Of
the prisons and jails N this city. II what have seen
in the papers within the last few days be true, there
Is a state OF things existing In some OF them which
requires not only examination, but something more.
II IL be true stated In some OF the papers, that In
some Of these prisons persons arrested are exposed
to suffering from the weather 10 such an
extent as TO cause deatb the offence may
be much more serious one to The parties
guilty Of 1t than al first 1t may seem. l
recommend you, gentlemen, 10 devote portion or
your time to the examination OF these places; the
prisons connected with the police stations especially
are worthy or notice. The parties who are put in
these are generally OF the poorest class and they
are taken at time, during the winter especially,
when they nave but little means OF protection
against suffering from the weather. Although they
may be criminal, although they may be deserving
OF punishment for the crimes they commit yet there
Is no justice and no reason Tor Placing them in
condition In which their lives are in danger, and
they are exposed 10 another degree o. suffering ana
another KIND OF suffering from that which the law
provides.
