PRISON MATTERS.

Conditions in Sing Sing Prison are somewhat different from those existing in the general run of Bri- tish Prisons, says Mr. Wolfe. As a result of the formation, of a Prisoners Friendly Society with very ample powers, privileges are granted to prisoners who are mem- bers of this, Society far greater than anything which would be por- mitted in either a British or Con- tinental prison. Prisoners under certain conditions are permitted to engage In work for themselves outside the precinets of the prison... during certain hours daily. Much is also done for the recreation of prisoners, e.g. concerts, and amuse- ments. Prisoners may also be per- mitted in certain cases to possess facilities for their own recreation, such as the possession and use of Reduc- wireless rocelving sets. tions of sentence can, of course, also be earned as in, British pri sons, such as Vietoria Gaol, Hong- kong, in noting the privileges

must afforded t

be borne in -mind that, generally, greater liberty can be allowed to facilities for prisoners whore escape are more diffleult.. In the United States of America, or any large country, a considerable time must elapse in most cases before a criminal who abuses the trust placed in him can hope to get away successfully. In territories which are small such as Hongkong, con- siderable restrictions must neces- sarily apply which would not, be required were the territory even 43 large as say Ceylon or the Philippine Islands.
