Made Insace by Long Imprisonment.

Thirteen years ago, Thomas Nary
was sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. for murder. He has recently be-
come insane, on account, it is believed,
of long confinement. He has been ID
in the prison longer than any other
convict. Few men are able to bear
protracted Imprisonment. Solitary
confinement for a year would cause
nine out of ten to go mad or die OF
mental depression. Hence the laws OF
tennessee provide that no convict
shall undergo solitary confinement for
more than 80 days, as punishment for
obstinate conduct. AS rule, conylcts
are confined for bad conduct only about
a hours, and in extreme cases As
hours.
