A new type Of bars designed for
prisons are of hollow metal, filled
with water. These pipes are all con-
nected with a central pump, and the
water is kept under high pressure.
Thus. the slightest break in any bar
would cause a powerful jet of water
to squirt. To continue filing the bar
would be almost impossible. Also,
the fact that there was a leakage
somewhere would be registered on a
dial on the central pump, and lead to
speedy investigation.
