Chilled Steel Bed Chamber.

From the bath to the bed chamber,
Up the darksome stairs into the stately
corridor; through an inner gateway
Gated to right and left, through small
steel doors, with the west and east
ranges (dormitories). The west door
was unlocked, and we were pushed in
to huge room, about 200 by 120, with
tall barred windows along each side,
Inside this space had been constructed
a sort of inner house Of steel, seven or
eight stories in height, with zig.zag
stairways at either end, leading to
narrow platforms that opened on the
individual cell doors. These doors
were barred, and were locked by
throwing switch at the near end Of
the rangesj but any particular door
could also be opened by key.
The cell doors of the inner structure
were at a distance Of some twenty feet
from the walls and windows OF the
outer shell, and got what light and air
they had from these too much,
of course. Also, the guard on duty in
the range, IF the weather be chilly, will
close the windows, against the protests
of the prisoners and against the regula-
tions, too; but most of the guards are
thin -blooded southerners, and diseased
into the bargain, and do not like cold
air. The consequence is that the four
hundred pairs Of lungs in each range
soon vitiate the atmosphere; the pris-
oners turn and toss in their cots, have

exchanged; we went forward and the
gate closed behind us.
We waited Just inside the prison gates.
That difference between Just inside and
just outside is important; for nine con
victed men out Of ten it would be pun
ishment for their misdeeds more than
sufficient to be taken no further on the
way to retribution than that Whatever
humiliation and disgrace they are capa
bic of feeling or have cause to feel i
ri that first moment at its height; il
