PRISON LIFE IN JAPAN. 4 Country Where Offenders Against the Law Are Treated Barbarously. Mr. Baba’s description of the prison life of Japan shows an extraordinary degree of brutality in the system. “The Kajibashi prison,’’ he says, . “is situated in a central place of the jeapital, Tokio, and is under the direct ;control of the Minister of the Interior. The building is two stories high and ‘made in the shape of a cross. In each story there are forty cages, making “Tm dast Going Down to the Gate” ad QE oe Forler Ballads, in book form, ° size of Sheet Music. Sent, post-pald, for ONLY FOUR GENTS. Stamps taken.

There are al- “ways from eight hundred to nine hun- dred prisoners kept in this way. Many become sick and some die. I have seen two of the prisoners die within six months. But I am sur- prised that, considering the bad sani- tary system, want of exercise, bad} food and drink, etc., so few die. 1! am told more prisoners die after they come out of the prison, where they ars sustained by a sort of excitement. “The outside of each cage is pro- tected by a strong wooden frame. The frame itself becomes a door to let the prisoners inor out. The side facing the yards has alarge window, protect- ed with aniron frame, of which the door must not be closed without the permission of the officials, even in the severest winter nights. Thus itis a common occurrence that prisoners are covered with snow. Atthe corner of this cage a small tub containing water for the purpose of drinking and wash- ing is placed beside two wooden ves- sels for sewage purposes. The water isimpure as well as filthy. The food farnished to the prisoners consists of a small quantity of a mixture of rice and oats, about a quarter of a pound, served sometimes with three pieces of pickle or with boiled vegetables.
