Stone Walls DO A Prison Make: The New Jail At Stanley
A general view of the new prison at Stanley. The six squat buildings in the right back-ground are the cells, providing Accommodation for over 2,000 prisoners. Workshops are in
the centre foreground.
BELOW. The six cell-houses, wherein the prisoners are housed.
They are absolutely escape-proof.
Once locked in their cells, prisoners are entirely cut off from
the outside. A tiny peep-hole in the door is the only means of
communication.

Warders will constantly patrol inside this cage, one of many in the prison's workshops..
One of the tiers in A Cell-block. Each tler has accommodation for 100 prisoners and there are three tiers in each block. War- ders constantly patrol up and down the gangway.
A view every Hongkong convict will long remember-the entrance to the prison proper showing
the administrative block in the background.
