VICTORIA GAOL
We make the following extracts from the report of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol,
for 1902
The number of prisoners from the ordinary Courts was 5786, besides 149 soldiers and sailors sentenced by the Military and Naval Authorities. There were 53 prisoners admitted for debt, making a total of 5,988.
The corresponding numbers for the preced ing year were respectively as follows:-Con victed by the Ordinary Courts, 4,838; sentenced by the Military and Naval Authorities, 182; debtors, 29; and in default of finding security, B. Total, 5,077,
The percentage of prisoners admitted with previous convictions recorded against them to the total number of admissions was 11'3 as compared with a percentage of 13:37 for the
year 1901.
The daily average number of prisoners con fined in the gaol during the past ten years is 1893, 458; 1894, 455: 1895, 472; 1896, 514; 1897, 46; 1898, 5; 1899, 437; 1900, 4861 1901, 499; and 1997, 576.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY MARCH 23, 1903.
-HOTELS IN THE EAST,
"A Constant Travel'er has beeh ·" tres- passing on valuable space" in a contemporary regarding the airing of certain grievances relat- ing to the question of hotels. He says:-It is a strange fact that hotels-with one or two exceptions-East of Egypt, taking them on the basis of relative patronage, are the most unsatis factory in the world. India has set the standard
which is admitted to be a disgrace to that country by everyone that has travelled there, and I am sorry to say that standard shews na material improvement in Burmah. Rangoon can boast of only one hotel that a European cares to patronise, and that hotel has lately been utterly unable to cope with the traffic. It is a surprise to everyone who visits Rangoon that no one seems to have the courage and enterprise to start a rival hotel under European management, for which there is admittedly ample scope. The position in Penang is not much better, where the need of an up-to-date hotel is greatly fell, and the state of affairs in Rangoon has a glaring analogue in Singapore. Visitors here have for the last month or so been
The Superintendent of the Gaof, in paragraph turning away by the score from the hotel that to of the annual report for the year 1898 commands most patronage, and yet no other (during which year the daily average number Fotel of anything approaching outstanding of prisoners in the Gao! was 11), called attenmorit is to be found, notwithstanding the ex tion to the inadequacy of .he Gaol accommoda-orbitant prices charged." tio... The question was again salted in paragraph 11 of the Superintendent's annual rep it on the Gaol for the year 1900, when accommodation for $70 prisoners was given as the total capacity of the Gani,
A STARILINGLY DEFICIENT BIRTH RATE.
During the year under review and especially
The statistics of the County of London in the month of May, when for several days the recently issued by the London County Council number of prisoners confined in the Gaol went show that there has been a decided improve up to 749, the Gaol was very much overcrowded.ment in recent years in the marriage rate for For 171 days during the year the daily popula- London. In 1894 it reached its lowest point- tion of the Gaol varied between 571 and 749 17 per io:a. In 1899 it was 18.4 per 1000. prisoners and on 45 days of that penod the The birth-rate does not show a corresponding numbers were over 600. During the latter part increase. It is now at the lowest point it has of the year a number of prisoners were located ever touched. Thirty years ago it was 35-4 per in the corridors, cell accommodation being in 1000; in 1899 it had sunk to 29.3. There are sufficient.
over four times as many births proportionately in St. Luke's as in St. George's, Hanover Square. With regard to these facts it would be interesting to know what are the experiences in other parts of the country. In parts of Devon- shire, it is stated in the Lancet, it is quite the exception for the young married couples of the upper middle class to have any family at, all, From notes that have been kept of marriages amongst private people of easy circumstances in one district it appears that out of 47 mar. riages which have taken place between 1887 and 1900, 31 have had no family at all. As to the effect, if this state of things exists all over the kingdom, it cannot bat be serious.
The following table shows the number of convicts confined in the Gaol on the 31st December for the past five years-1898, 55; 1899, 96; 1909, 141; 1901, 180; and 1907, 215, During the above five years there were 116 convicts released, time expired, etc.
The figures in the above table call for special attention indicating as they do a continuous increase of long-sentence prisoners.
There were 6 deaths and 3 executions during the year, and 35 prisoners released on medical grounds.
There were 84 juveniles admitted to the Gaol during the year, 64 of whom were sentenced to be detained for 48 hours and to be whipped, the remainder were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment,
There were 1,971 punishments for breach of prison discipline, being an average of 3.42 per prisoner, as compared with 2,41 with an average per prisoner of 4.83 for the preceding year. There were eight cases in which corporal punishment was awarded during the year, seven of which were (with the birch rod) sentenced by the Assistant Superintendent alone and one with the cat-o'-nine-tails sentenced by the same officer in conjunction with a Justice of the
Peace.
Nolwithstanding the overcrowded state of the Gaol during the year, the average number of reporti per prisoner has been the lowest on record and speaks well for the maintenance of discipline throughout the prison.
There were 313 prisoners convicted from the New Territory during the year, of whom 16 were sentenced to a years' imprisonment and up- wards.
Constant attention is given to the instruction of long-sentence prisoners (first offenders of good conduct, who are employed at industrial- labour, vis. :-Bloot and shoemaking, tailoring, mat-making, carpentry, tinsmithing, net-mak ing, mattress-making, raltan work, knitting, printing, and book-binding the knowledge of which is useful and educational, rendering many of them much better adapted to earn an honest livelihood after their discharge from prison.
The total number of the forms printed at the Gaol during the year 1902 was 3,050,828 and 11,949 books were bound. The value of work done by the printing and book-binding depart ment was 529,039.13. Deducting the cost of paper, leather, etc., used during the year, fron the net earnings, the total profits on all indust rial labour amounted to $29,439.91 for the year
