As ever funds are available a new wing of the prison should be constructed". If this greater extent of building is carried out gradually there ought to be no necessity for having recourse to a loan.
The site of the present prison is, I understand beyond question the proper position for the police station and the magistrates courts, and in connexion with them it is necessary to have a certain amount of prison accommodation for prisoners under remand, awaiting trial etc. Eventually, permanent provision might also be made here for short sentenced prisoners and debtors (if imprisonment for debt be continued), and "except for the latter the separate system might be adopted throughout converting the present building into a house of detention containing a certain number of cells for debtors and cells for 150 prisoners - say accommodation for 250 in all." The radiating blocks in the rear and the outbuildings in the front might be cleared away, and, if funds are available, the courts and police station might be improved.
