PRISON CELLS ABOLISHED.

NEW SYSTEM AT MT. EDEN.

THE FEMALE : DIVISION.

Improvements that • are • being effected in the female division at the Mount Eden prison were remarked upon by the Rev E. C. Budd, secretary of the Auckland Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, at the annual meeting of that body yesterday. Cells are being abolished, and replaced with 'comfortable bedrooms, provided with a bedstead instead of the hammock, and furnished with a wardrobe, table, chair, v and carpet. The rooms, which are lighted by electricity, open on to a sunny verandah. The exercise yard contains grass-plots and flower beds. There is also a temporary hospital, and everything possible is being done for the comfort of the women. The change over from the old to the new quarters will take place shortly. Mr. Budd's description of the new quarters provoked some of those present to remark that the place was altogether so attractive that there would no doubt be a rush there when the facilities were made known.
