According to correspondent of the
Cincinnati, Enquirer, the prisoners in the
Ohio Penitentiary are treated most bar
barously by the contractors who hire
their services. Under the task system
that prevails in the prison, each convict
is gwen certain amount of labor as a
days work. The prisoner is told that
and If he does not, he is punished severe
ly; and this punishment is continued
from day to day, the prisoner becoming
more and more untitled for labor, until
at length he is carried to the hospital, ut
terly broken down, and perhaps insane.
"Every day." says the Ehquirer's in
formant, "from ten to fifty or one hun
dred of the poor, half-clad, half-starved
wretches are condemned to the dungeon,
the bull rings, or the ducking box"
The ducking box is thus described;
"Thei- clothing stripped from them,
their fecO chained together, and their
hands shackled behind their backs; they
are rudely thrown into the Ice water,
their heads held down until strangulation
Is imminent, they are given time to
breathe, and they are ducked again and
again until their breath and senses and
ambition and strength are gone. Then
the victim is taken from the Icy bath, his
clothing hurried on, and Re is thrown
again into the dungeon, sfivering and
miserable. Should he still, perchance
have life enough to protest, his hands
are skackled together and fastened to
the 'bull ring high up in the wall, and
he is obliged to stand all night without
Sleep, miserable, wretched, and full ei
pain"
There are other modes of punishment
known as the sweat box and the gag
The object of all these cruelties seem tC
be to extort as much work as possibl
from the convicts for the benefit of the
contractors.

PEELED to punish the crimes most severely
