courtesy were allowed to examine every part
of the institution-the galleries looking into
the cells, the prisoners, workshops, chapel,

made use of by the incarcerated criminals in
the murder of some of their victims, and for
the purposes of effecting their escape. In
fact the miodHs operondi Of the Prison was
shown and fully explained by Mr. Haynes.
Our fellows came away acknowledging that
