authorities consider that at least forty
cubic meters of space are necessary for

captive in the fort is barely three meters.
The classmates in which these unfortunate
persons have been kept in strict confine-

one small loophole for light and air. In
the middle of the day it is too dark for
either reading or writing, and to breathe
freely the prisoners must crowd about the

runs down the walls, sometimes leaving
