expense of their construction is considerable, and it is a question if they are at present absolutely necessary, I recommend that all the prisoners in Jails A and B should be made to wash in the yard between them, and that a suitable fixed pan of zinc or lead be formed. One of the large urinals should be in one corner of each of the rooms with a lead pipe for the discharge. It is advisable that 3 or 4 large close stools be provided for each room, for night emergencies.
To increase the supply of fresh air, occasionally rendered necessary when the Prisons are much crowded, to make two openings 2'6" × 1'0" on a level with the floor at the south end of the building, and the same at the north end; it would be perhaps advantageous if the same were done to the division wall also; these openings to be protected by iron bars let into stone frames, which should be provided with shutters. I do not think any additional ventilating in Jail B is requisite here. Prisoners should have frequent access to the yards.
It is not necessary, in my opinion, to strengthen the Verandah by iron bars.
Jail C: A close stool should be provided for each cell. Col. Jebb recommends that the jails should be connected; this might easily be done at the north end of the building by forming a gallery on the level of the upper floors; it certainly would permit of a better surveillance, as one watch at night, a Constable might be sufficient over both jails on the upper guard floors. It would not be possible to join Jail C to the other two.
As this building is not in connexion with the others, and has not the same facilities for washing, and proximity to the privies, I think the recommendation of the Committee to build a tower for washing and privies is desirable. If this is done, a cistern must be made in the roof, and water raised from the well by a force-pump; the latter service might be carried into effect without the tower, and then the recommendations of Col. Jebb might be carried into effect, viz., to
