ORD comes from Sing Sing that the population of the prison has at lyst been reduced to a figure which makes it possible for each prisoner to have a cell to himself or sleep in a dormitory. For years past the number of men has exceeded the number of cells to such an extent that hundreds were foreed to double up. What this means can only be realized by those who have seen the cell block et Sing Sing with ite mephitic atmosphere and mediaeval construction. A cell measures three feet three inches between walls!
