THESE QUESTIONS ARE TO BE FILLED UP IN RESPECT OF EACH PRISON
IN THE COLONY.
Questions,
If the Prison is on a sepurate system, is the separation complete ? Aud, if not, what is the separa- tion enforced by day and night resportively ?
II.—If not on the separate system, what provision is there for the supervision of the prisons while in
association?
Answers.
Hong Kong Prison is fully on the separate system but the separation is not complete owing to over- crowding.
The Victoria Gaol is nearly on the separato systemi, The Branch Prison at Lai Chi Kok is not on the separate si stem. Prisoners work and sleep in asso- ciation. The Female Prison is partly on the separate systrim but prisoners are mainly in association borly night and day,
