IsOLArING CONFLICTS.

Solitary confinement is being success
fully eIperimented with in various pris-
ons in Europe. For this purpose cells
of sheet-iron are being constructed that
are somewhat in the nature of cages.
Over the door and overhead there is a
network of heavy wire. A number of
these cells are placed side 10y side in
one large room Of prison. The in.
mates eau see nothing of each other, and
no conversation is permitted. Youthful
prisoners are especially subjected TO this
mode of confinement at night and dur
ing other not-working hours. the object
being to prevent the demoralizing influ-
ences resulting from Imprisonment in
common. This plan is at present pur-
sued in Belgium, Italy snd Ireland, and
is to be introduced in Hungary.
