PRISON CELLS
INNOVATION AT AUCKLAND. Improvements that are being effected in the female division at tho Mount Eden Prison were remarked upon by the Rev. E. C. Budd, secretary of the Auckland Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society, at tlie annual meeting of that body. Coils are being abolished, and replaced with comfortable bedrooms, provided with a bedstead instead of the hammock, and furnished with a bardrobe, table, cliair, 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 i 3 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.
