The idea that the prisoners must work at hard labor all the time they are outside their cells, even if the product of their labor is of no value, has been carried to the ex treme It was urged by one of the inspectors as an excuse for not giv- | ing a reasonable period to the edu- cation- of the illiterate during the day, that the school would interfere with the labor of the prisoners. If an hour or two were given up to school for some, and exercise in the yard for others, less stones would be broken, 'tis true. But some men whose spirits are being crushed, and whose manhood is being debased, might be saved to future good citi zenship, if a eivilizing help in the way of a school or a breath of the open air each day could be introduce ed to bright n "their fives." In connection with the buildings the report pointed out that the old workshops were in fairly satisfac tory condition, except the stone breaking shop Of this department. the report ha the following to ay: "Every feature of that department was bad, the atmosphere was charg- ed with stone dust, and there was ap parently no adequate provision for carrying it away. Over seventy pris oners, many of them young boys, were at work in this department They were ranged. in rows, and fac ing each other, and the stone to be broken was piled in a long heap be- tween them: There was perfect or- der among the men; not a word was spoken, but the monotonous raps of the hammers, the sullen, whitened faces of the forms; half crouching over their unhealthy, unprofitable degrading tasks, were a mute but powerful denunciation of the system that permitted or rendered necessary such an outrage. Nothing has been said, nothing can be said in defence of this twentieth century reproduc- tion of the unceasing moil of the galley slave." Woman's Department The woman's department is" con- ducted in a very satisfactory man- ner, yet the interests of all concern- ed would be best served if these few inmates were transferred to an ins stitation for women. Arrangements might be made with the provincial authorities for the custody of female offenders.
