In Doubling Up of Prisoners. Health
and Ideas Ceteriorate.

That danger, potentially menac-
of the Chaflestown prison in the
doubling up or putting two prison
ers in one cell, is the opinion of DR..
John H McCollom.
Declaring that the use by two pris-
oners of a cell originally planned for
one man is unWise from the stand
point of health, DIR. McCollom points
out a sravcr and more sinister con-
sequence by asserting the liability OF
moral contamination from such asso-
cation, which offers opportunity for
collaboration IN plans, perhaps of es-
cape. of crimes to be committed when
the men are released,
That this danger is potentially pres
.nt is admitted by the prison officials.
Lack Of room is the cause of the
doubling up, they say, pointing out
that there are S2l prisoners and only
500 cells. OF these cells "A are each
occupied by two men.
1T is not right for two men to live
in room originally built for o4le,
said DIR. McColom. This condition
should he obviated at once. As | un-

than SEQ cubic feet of air in each OF
these cells. There should be. for tive
men, between 500 and 1000 cubic feet.
