upon the Jail and county institutions The jury
found that the Raymond Street Jail nd the Kings
County Pensientiary are in good condition The
Kings County Hospital was found overcrowded.
There Is room for about 400 patients, and there are
about COO there. and mattresses have to be spread
on the floor for many patients. The jury recon-
menled that steps he taken Immediately 10 remedy
this evil Better facilities for male bathing In the
almshouse was recommended. In the penitentiary
forty prisoners battle at one time In separate
apartments.

and means for cleanliness for those convicted of
crime should not neglect to make equal provision
for those who old. sick .niirm. and whose
friends cannot provide for them"
