THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1893.
89
8. The insufficient yard accommodation has also been repeatedly pointed out. This I regard as one of the most serious deficiencies in the Gaol and makes it a matter of the utmost difficulty to keep the various classes of prisoners separate when at work. If this were increased many more prisoners could be employed at useful and remunerative labour.
9. The female prison is badly situated. The average number of females in prison during the year was 27, and, owing to the inadequate accommodation, it frequently happens that remand prisoners have to be placed in the same ward with convicted prisoners.
10. I forward herewith the usual returns.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
The Honourable
THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.
