British Treatment of Prisoners

opportunity of becoming familiar with
prison punishment It was simply
british treatment. The prison.
ers were treated exactly like SO many
dumb brutes. They were never per.
mitted to speak until first addressed by
a Keeper If they opened their mouths
to say casual word it was violation
OF the rules of The prison, and thew
would be punished. Each one of the
Keepers had complete power to castieate
any OF the prisoners who mighthappen to
ofend against this system. The pnnisb-
ment III those days was something bar
barous. Each of the keepers. besides
oeing armed. carried whip of fine
hemp cord, consisting of nine lashes
euch one OF winch was knotted at the
END. With this instrument the keeper
would retallate upon a prisoner when
ever detected talking. l have seen n
slx-ioot keeper put the whip in his
hand, and, carefully spreading out the
iashes so that every one of them wonld
strike, bring the lash down on n little
