TWO SOURS IN JAIL.
BY JAMES OEKENWOOO.
It was the cool of Ibo evening of a summer's
day as vr$ approached the grim outworks of the
huge city priBon at tlolloway. Close beside it
is the residence of the governor of the jail, and
there inquiring, we were informed that he was
t that moment busy in his garden. There we
discovered him the dreaded cnlorccr of the
law's just sentence, the responsible custodian
of as much of brute ruffianism and vicious cun
ning and daring villainy as suddenly let loose
would merge the town in horror and dismay
the mighty potentate ut whoo girdle, meta
phorically speaking, hung the master-key of
five hundred last tloois, be), lml wlrich captive
men and women sally pined or defiantly

Our vifcit was not altogether unexpected, an 1
alter a cheerful greeting and a btief chat cju
ccrmug chiefly the favorable weather and the
lavages of hlus, and similar gurtlen post, the
governor courteously invitoil us to follow him.
l'aiiiutt his privuie g:iia-ii irom tiie prison is a

Wi'der Hits constantly. These ofiPuett to u,
anil theu was revealed a trim gravelled court
yard, and at the end ol it a second pair of gates,
entailer, but more loimiriabiolonKing than the
lirst. More tcrnhli', too, to conteuipltte, H;i
every luckle s wivlch must, who, tor a period
brii l or prolonged, H doomed to lodge here. It
is a frightful gate. We were informed that it,
was modelled alter that which guards the en
trance to v urwu'k: Casl.e; but it win lit have beru
the porta) of the castlu of tho eeleorated m in
cating old giant Klutiderbore, for, stand
ing bolt upright acalut eiJier doorpost, was a
drtigon, not cut in dml cold stone, but carvocl m
wood, aud paiutert by a man who knew, at
least, how a dragon should aiiimar, with tinry
eyes and litry tonuup, and denies like plates of
blue steel, and claws the like of which were
never seen. ach oiagon clutched a great black
key, mid grinned as ho glared do vu on whoiu
soevt'i" might be entering in at the gate in a
manner calculated to strike direst terror to tho
beait of those new to criniLlul wa.vs, thoasih
tlierf probably urn those to hardened in him,
and so familiar wi'h the gated llo'llowny Jail,
tuat tlie guart'ian dran.im may have no terrors
for tliciu, and they may return the threatening
glare of the monsters' e3os with tho most cool
and scif-iiosspagcd of wmks.

i,ol only the particular cnine and t tie adjudged

also all known previous couvicjtious against

or t lie Wiiig-wliiskercd city svell ot elegant

perhaps, by the discovery of his first aud
only tespernte forgery here is an ead to
Lis worldly guise. Here are the baths, and
all coiners cuter them, nnd the water
they contain is iuj water of oblivion. It is

Dice-looking plumage, Ii ronsi'-U of a coarse
shirt, and a tight-tittlug suit of slate-colored
woollen, of the style vulgarly known as the
"ckeleton," a'id from the shoulder to the elbow
of the right B'ecve of it is exhibited, in a shoy
border, the initial aud uuo.ber of tho ward in
which the eaid jail-bird's particular cae may
be found.
Petore entering the bath-room, tho prisoner
scrips, and leaves his clothes ol the outer world
ot i he door, aud they are ga hered up and thrust
into a string net, and to they are baked and
purified, after which inventory ot them is taken,
and they are ticketed, and stowed away uniil
the expiration of the prisoner's sentence shall
legalize his claim lo them.
On the same llcor with the ba'h-room are a set
of cells called "raceptiou-celJs," for the use of
pnsoner who may be brought in at a time
loi'onvenient for their medical examination,
indispensable before they may be admitted to
the body of the piison. There were two such
casts on the evening ot our visit. Just outside
the doors of the reception-cells were two bun
dles enveloped in a net, nud, reposing ou each, a
pa tJ of iinr.y, dilapidated sboe, the property
of the mdiviouas who hal couio in late. On
cell number oue being unlocked, there was dis
closed, suspended in a hammock blunut from wall
to wall, a quick-eyed, bJilel-Ucadcd youth of
the true tniei iype.
He appeared perfectly comfortable and at his
case. The cell, beiug for temporary usaue only,
was unlumibhed except tor I ho hammock; but
that was provided with a nice clean woollen
rug, which theioung tu;et nai pulled up as
hieh as his ears, still hhinlner aud Inflamed

Well as my memory serves, about seven feet wid

and at the end, by the wall, was a narrow

the place ultoue tlier appeared such h cWu and
sweet tit le tiPdroom, iua', as-uniiiiir ino hrory
fcuageted ov the uetted bundle u:id the slipshod
tattered boots outside the uoir to be true a
story iusolving lln? hi leous sij'ialor of a ''blind

Fpcaka' l': U'rrori o: a twopenny lo !ging-Uouse,
it seemed tha-, the jomui Kiiitlcuan iu the
hammock, ut pre-en1, at any rate, ha I not much
reason to bewail hir hard fate. Quite kindly the
governor tp -ke to bun:
"Weil, lad, har aie ou here f .r?"
"Hit o' beef, air.1' t-ie lad coitly replied, at the
same time dueugaing u h a ud l. eiu the (olds of
the blanket, 10 re-peetlulJ.v tu' at, a lorelock ot
sliorn h' uck stubble.
"Ste ding a piece of beef, do jou mean?''
"Ves. sir. I ''
".Silence. G-itotdeop." And the young thief
was left to ins repute.
Thf dour of tM next cell was unlocked, and
on a ptecocly similar hauimoec reclined u pre
clfel.v similar lad, exc 'pi that he nail carroty
stubble on ins head inieau ot iiiuck.
'a ell. bid, what are you here lor"
"Bit of inent, please sir."
"You and another lad did It between yon?"
"Tlnit's it. sir. He-'1
"ileuce." And the door wa? closed, aud the
key turned In tho heavy lock.
'Is iliii loeir lirst nhVine should you im
neii e we iniiiiire of the governor as wo tra
verse a pas-aL'e If.id ng towards another part of
the building. But the governor slirugs his
thouldel's.
"A'ot by any means; nor their l:wt, I'm afraid.
There i? not much chance of us seeing the lsst
ol Ihem nntil they are sent away,"
"Sent where f"
TtDP.! servitude. That's tho common
ending."
"Weil, it is not very surprising that it shout i
be so. It is one thing to mske a man forget his
nil-deeds, at d another to place at bia dispjs.il
infant- b which be may preserve himself airalnst
a icpetit on ot them. As you say, otl'euse asrninst
otlensc if recorded against him. each onendd ng
an additional cleg to his unlucky feet, that pos
nbly, if they had a reasonable chance, would
glaoly tt rn to honest paths."
lint at this the governor made a primace that
stood us representative for tho laugh ho would
have uttered had he not felt the restraint of
that lutxoriible rule of his own imnosing
silence. "There you arc mistaken," he whis
pered softly; "we are much more bumano
than vou Imagine. The prisoner who tho?
an earnest disposition towards aoien Iment
is nevrr turned penniless and helpless out of
this jail. It he proves to us his diseint for
dishonest cour-es, and bis willingness to work,
we are nble, thanks to a certain i uud, to place
the means ot doing so in bis hands. 8ametimes
a lew shillings Is sulllclent lor the purp.ise.
sometimes we are induced so to invest several
pounds. A large number of the youneer prison
ers have a fancy for uoiug to sea. A young man
came to see me only Inst week. Tie came here
jiift one of the.-e loueb'ss outcn-t bovs, wuo
thieve that they may not starve, of whom the'e
arc thousands la London, and ho expressed a
wish to be sent to sea, out of harm's w.iy. He
proved himself a eood lad, having worked his
way up to the condition of fecund mate, with a
fail ppectof becoming something still belter,
lie dinid at, my table last Tuesday.''
"Have you many bovs here at present!"
''i,:nguinrly few. We have cell accommoda
tion for sixty; and our average nu ruber, lor some
tunc pajt, hu9 been only tixtten. Uome this
way, aiid you shall 6ce them."
Aud, wondering alt the while, we did as
invited. Ilow was it that tho percentage of
juvenile ci iminals lodged iu lloiloway l'rison
wus so small? When we nsked the governor
the pioporiion his boy-lodgers bore to the
whole, it was in foil expectation of receiving
an answer that fhould warrant the natural
Hlatnihtthe rapid increase of crime amongst
lads of tender years. Where were the scores
ot humble imitators of Ciaude Duvul and Dick
Turpin, who, having perused the veracious
records of tho exploits of these nnd
similar heroes of the gibbet, mike des
perate efforts to emulate them by murderously
assaultiig crippled old women, or running oil'
With errand money eonti led to their care by too
trusting maBters? We referred to the governor
for an explanation. "It is easily ncjouuted
for,' said he. "They find that they h ive to
work when they are litre.'' We were about to
follow our last question with another as to the
way in which a joung thief contrived to
choose his pri.-on, but thiJ was rendered unuc-ces.-ary
by the sudden recurrence to our memory
ot n conversation bcaiu.g on the same subject,
that recently had taken place between a boy
thief and a prison conrnissioiier. "How Is it,"
the iat'cr nsked, "that out ot nine convictions
neainst yon, ciirht are returned from one pri
son ?'" ''Co-, please, sir, I always pricrsin ll il
born," was the candid rejoinder. Wheu that
salutary law for wh ch tr.e render's humble
servant has for so long a time beeu asking h
p..ssed, and conies iuto operation, and the
jrovei nor of lloiloway Jail counts amongst his
minutes one or two of those dirty sco.iudrols
who uaiu their bread by the sweat of juvenile
morality by means of the penny weekly num
ber system a proper punishment would be to
make them the drudges of the boy criminal
wind to compel the in to wa5li their victims'
shirts and socks, aud scrub their cell lloori,
nnd be generally ie-potiBiblo for their nonsaual
cleatilinc-s.
The cells In wlvch the boy prisoners nre cop-
nni n me piecie:y bimiiur 10 more or in? audits;
and, it being now niter woilc hours, the greater
part of the sixteen lodgers were "at home
1 hose we spoke with did not seem very much
hardened iu crime, which, by tho way, is a loug
way from meaning that taey were not couver-
sant w ith crime. Uo.y.s aie not lnse men, they
nre less reflective, anil in nine cases out ot ten
havc.no cure or responsibility beyond whit is
strictly personal; consequently they are less
imprc-seu witu tae nardsuip ot tueir con lit on,
bujodinir ou wmcii is as likely to produce i
hardening as a soitening effect. As (
rule, the condition of the boy-thie
while at liberty Is a most miM-rablu con
dition. nLd. utter (he lirst "'recklessness'
lias worn oi), he linds that it is more comforta
ble to be iu prison thau out a frame of mind
scarcely calculated lo uring ubjut penitence
nnd reformation.
There is one point, however, on which the
boy-thiel is, or pretends to be, especially tender.
and that is concerning his lather. To be suro
there is no getting over the stern, sad fact, that
nobody is so perfect a muster in the art ot dis
sembling as the intelligent, low cunning little
London thief. Let his jailor assume never so
severe a manner m his douiinifs with him
before he has talked with him three times he
will have discovered his weakest feature (and
even piison governors are not fiee Irom them)
and shape nts maimer and c inversatiou accord
Ingly. Thus, with all due respect to liovernor
Weatberhead, aud his admirable system or
mansgement, he undoubtedly has a uatural
tenderness lor boys, aud bis prisouers know it.
Like a sensible man, he knows that, until a
boy has grown utterly abaudonel, be will no.
forget "mother;" and it is certain that, iu very
many cases, it is a sacred chord that may be
played on with charming aud even miraculous
effect; at the same time it is not impossible
that his amiable weapon may be turned against
him, and he may bo imposed on.
Every boy we examined cried at once when
his mother's name was mentioned, and tho
creditable exhibition of emotion was almjst
invariably rewarded, by an encouraging put on
the head with the (iovernor's benevoleut hand.
There was one case that came under our notice
In ihe boy way that was somewhat peculiar.
He was an incoirigible young rufliuii, we were
informed, and had been iu prison very many
times, lie had only arrived at Hollo wiy that
morning, and, being set to work in the brick
held, before he was there an hour was
guilty of foul lnfiguuge towards tho officer
in command, and was condemned to the
"dark cell." There we found him, A
more hideous place as a habitation for
bureau being with a guilty conscience cannot
casih be imagined. Ihirk Is much too feeble a
word to describe the black deusity that hrouded
its interior. It is a cell within u cell, and even
the outer one Is so dark that only by the clicks
ol the key in the lock were we awar i that the
interior dcor had beeu opened. "Cosie out
here, lad!" And, emerging from the impene
trable density, there gra lually loomed to vie-v
th de-peiate incoriigiblr. He was not a
very formidable rulbun to contemplate,
beiutr a slim built boy, with a narrow
white fjee, which was teiiriul, nnd had
on it an expression hiigsrestivo of a horror
of "bogies." llu hud cwduiiily arrived at the
dismal .oi elusion that id was doomed to pa-s
th long, long night iu th itiiwt'ul place, nnd h id
made c rta'n eccputn.j end umiccoua'abl'! ar
rangements to that end. The collars of his gJie
jacket ere pulled up b'uh above his ears,
mailing u fantastic betting for 1 is grimy, tear
bt sirtauied countenance, while, possibly with a
view to t coiioujiziii1: all the comtott lo bgot
out of upairtif trousers, be had loosened the
fastening ot tbo-'c articles of raiment so that they
were all slouched about his tcet, the briefs ot
them trailing Lehind h'm like a pair of white
tin's.
"Well, lad? what has brought you to this?
How many times have you been iu this prison?"
"Thiee, sir!" (with a tremendous ou'b ust of
gtie', uud such a acre viUL' ot both his lists into
his eyes, thai every leutute of his face, except
his wl le inontii, was rendered in visibl'.
"SpraK the Iruti), lad."
"Four, nr."
"Ay, ut leu -t four. Why wero yoa put in the
dark cell V
"1'or gwearin', s:r. I ci-twajs, b said n9 ho v
I swore, sir; hut I kno v he was loo far vil to
hnvp hei rd me."
"Who heard you i nothing to tho purpose;
you have mciii I'fd tho penalty, tnnl you lUJst
pay it. How long aru jou hem lor?"
"Six months, sii."
"Wbat lor?"
"Ste titrating, sir."
"Hove you a mother?"
"0 yes. sir 10 ye o s, sir I" (with a fit of
sobbing that caused tho white walls to vibrate
ttraneely. )
"Where does soe live v
"Manchester, sir. Ow w W J I Was just
thinkin' on her when jou came, sir."
Governor, evidently uttectcd: '"Ann you ran t
do better than thluk of her, If she is good
mother. Just picture To your mind what she
would think of von ould she see you In this
disgrocetul position 1"
( " W 1 W 1
"Will you promise never to swear again as
lonp as you are here, if I let you go back to
jour cell ?"
Ot course the tearf'il penitent promised most
solemnly, and presently, too eager iu his anxiety
to cbauee the dark cell lor a comparatively
light one to adjust his bnbibiinont, came slotich
Irg behind its sbp'hod over tho asphaltc floor,
with the collar oi his ncKetsuii snrou uug nis
curs, and his trousers clutched up on either sile
by ibe waistband.
The Atitt-iobacco o lciy mignt discover
amongst the inmates of jails many aot illustra
tions ot tho trutri ot their peculiar Hrgirnenis.
Koihmg is more common, when a youth
ful captive is questioned us to the ori
gin ot his fulling away from the path of
rectitude, than tor him (o attribute it to
the short P'pe," or to "bud company aud
smoking and that," or to "going out ol evenings
nnd btijlrg cigars." One lad at present incarce
rated iu lloiloway Prison was possessed ot such
a ravenii g mania for tho pernicious weed, that,
a'ded by auotln r boy, he stole live hundred and
cny clears. I'nsoners will run almost any risk
lor a chew or a whitr of tobacco. It is known
tbat at 1'ortland the convicts, having obtained
through the ugenoy of a "free laborer"
in the stoue quarries, a piece of tobacco
and a pipe, had a method of disooitu
of it as iiitTfiiioiis almost as it was dis
gusting. As must be meutioned, smoking was
strictly prohibited, serious penalties being in
store lornny oue wno assisted a prisoner to the
coveted luxury, ino only tiino when the peni
ous oelight may be indulged in was when in the
course of the day's work asuddcu shower came
on, and the convicts "knocking off" for the
time, huddled tu a shed out of the ram. Then
the envied snureiioiaers in tne louriu ot a
quarter of an ounce ot cavendish sat in a cir
cle, the "buck" or head man, with tho ptoo in
one corner ot his mouth, and lu the other a
straw, the other end of which was Rrasped
wilh'ti the lips of tho next niau of the circle,
who likewise had a second straw iu bis
mouth, the further end of which the third man
sucked at, and bo on until the number was com
plete. The pipe alight, the "buck" took
a draft of smoke through it at oue
coimr of Ins in jiith, cnjoycl it tor a
moment, nnd then blew it through the
straw at the other corner ol his mouh iuto that
of his next neighbor, uud so it passed through,
the last niau having the envied privilege of
swalbwing the mouthful iu consideration of bis
being ut so great a loss in consequence of the
detericratiou iu the flavor of the smoke in the
coursp of its ttnnsit. At the llou-e of Detention,
the liieini? ol prisoners have conveyed ttietn a
pire and a pine-light and tobacco iu the interior
of n loat (on one occas on a cigar and a luciler
natch wire found ikuiUv wiupncd together in
the interior ,f a roast fol),Hinl the desperate
smokt r has been discovered i top of a pla'brm
eotsi'liug of his table, and his Bible, iiu I his
panniuin, clinging tiptoe to the bars of a ven'i
lftror by the ceiling and blowing a difficult
clou I through Its narrow interstices.
It is n it so easy, however, to couvoy tobacco
to a pi isouer in a clo-e prison such as that at
lloiloway. Cut it his been attempted. At
stated t:ines a prisoner's lilen Js may pay umu a
visit. The Interview, however, is hampered by
certain icsf fictions. On either side of u pussare
abont live icet in width is a ca'e ot open wire
work, and conveniently dt'p-.ised between tho
cares are screens behind which a warder may
be iukint', listening to the conversation thai is
going on, so as to check it at once should it take
a vrtoue or improper turn. Ojie day iu the course
of innocent discourse between a prisoner
and a male fri'-nd, the warder's watchful
eye doticud a feather lloaiing over from
one ci.i'e to the other, and, arres inir it
midway, found at ih stem of it a length ot tine
silk, and at the end oi the thread iu the visitor's
hand a nice little ping of pigtail for "chawing,"
Had the lea' her se'tled in the compartment
where the prisoner was, nothing would be easier
than for linn to give a dexterous jerk at the
silk, and land ttie plug on his OA-n side. The
misenrraae of Ihe neat little plot meant severe
puuishmtut lor the would-be receiver, nnd a
month's hard labor for the obliging supplier;
nnd the fact ot its being about fifty to oue
neainst the trick successfully parsing, shows
how terrible must lie the penalty of deriva
tion from tobacco to au old btnoker. Lun Jon
