DARTMOOR PRISONS
TO BE EMPTIED OF
THEIR CONVICTS

Plymouth. England. March 90
The famous Dartmoor prisons at
,Princetown, on the Prince of Wales
Duchy estate. are to be emptied. of
their convict inla bitants and turned
over to the war department as bar
racks FOR a regiment. .of conscientious
objectors; who wiMshe employed on
some ambitious adstcultural schemes
which the Pfiifce 1T Wales Is to in
stitute on his property: -.
Dartmoor prisons are Of peculiar
interest to Americans. for they were
butlt just over a century ago to ac-
commodate American war prisoners
captured in the war of 1912, as well
as few French prisoners from the
Napoleonic" campaigns. The Ameri-
can prisoners. chiefly sailors captured
at sea, were landed at Plymouth and
interned at Princetown until the end
of the war.
Twice In their history as a war es-
tablishment the Dartmoor prisons
were the scene of serious mutinies.
one by the French and another by the
American prisoners. Both were due
to complaints about the bread rations
issued to the prisoners, and in the
more serious: outbreak by the Ameri-
cans seven OF the mutineers were shot
down and a great many more wound
ed.
No reopening of the prisons as a
place OF criminal detention is con-
templated, as the isolation and cli-
matte conditions are not considered
favorable.
