Where bodily waste is properly car

of the last days of that notorious In
strument Of discipline. The superces-
sion or II as form OF hard labor was
commenced some years back, and now
II has been finally abolished in our
prisons. This has rendered necessary
the revision of the standing orders re-
lating to the employment Of prison
ers sentenced to hard labor. Oak
um picking is still retained, but other
forms Of industrial labor have been In
troduced, and after twenty-eight days
of strict cellular separation" IL the
prisoners behave well, they are al
lowed to work in association. The
treadmi1 was condemned on various
grounds 1t is held to have been both
trying to health and ineffective as a
punishment. The large rooms and
spaces which the abolition of the
wheel has set at the disposal of the
prison authorities are being utilized as
workshops, more particularly for as
ISOLATED labor. The passing of the
treadmlll must be regarded as another
proof of the growing humanity OF our
criminal code.
But it should not be forgotten that
the Wheel has had its apologists.
