Answers.
In Central Prison 3 classes of one hour etch are held
weekly ; in Distiict Prisons there are no schools, but
well-conducted prisoners who can read are allowed to
havs educational and religious books of their respective
persuasions.
Prisoners of good behaviour and industrious in labour
sentenced to not le=s than two years are, if males, after
three-fourths, or, if females, after two-thirds of' their
term of imprisonment has expired, recommended to the
Governor for remission of their sentence, with, ur
without, Ticket of Leave. Prisoners under a sentence
of less than two years but not less than one month
earn by good conduct and industry a remission of one-
sixth of their sentence.
Five prisoners died in prison during the past year
as a result of execution. No inquest was held, but the
Medical Ofucer certified in each case that death was
due to dislocation of the cervical vertebra.
