Boa of Trac ΕΙ originally constructed for forty persons. It is destitute of conveniences of any sort, neither privies nor water. A wooden teeb is placed in one of the Corners which is cleansed every morning and evening. It emits a very offensive smell which circulates throughout the room. The prisoners discharge their urine which is imbedded in the Chinam floor; upon these a hole communicating with a set of privies on the outside of the Jail is carried through the wall. These privies, though intended for the use of the prisoners confined, are not used, being very inconvenient and out of the way. The floor in this jail where it stands is saturated with the urine.
The apertures in the upper part of the room are quite sufficient for the purpose of ventilation, but from the want of a current of air in the lower part to carry off foul air arising from the breathing of many persons, added to the stench from the wooden teeb, the room is close and disagreeable.
The lower floor is nearly in the same state as the upper one, and is now occupied by a convict chain gang consisting of about seventy men. This room is also destitute of conveniences of any kind. In one Corner a number of flat tiles are very useful when the walls of the prison yard are completed for such prisoners as may be allowed to roam about, but at present it would be unsafe to allow the prisoners to have access to them, as they might with facility effect their escape.
Wooden tubs are used on the upper floor. There is no water in the Jail, either above or below, to cleanse or purify the floors. The effluvium generated in the present crowded state of the prisons, from the breathing of such a number of persons, is considerable.
