Grand Jury Sees Tweed’s Humble Blackwell's Island Quarters

The Grand Jury’s visit to William M. Tweed on Blackwell's Island reveals a stark contrast to reported luxuries. In a small hospital room, pale, frail Tweed sits by a window, wearing plain garments, as jurors note the dreary bed, a crude engraving, and bare floors. The warden says Tweed is a model prisoner with ordinary fare and little contact with relatives, while Tweed expresses resignation about his fate. Mrs Tweed is bedridden after an eye injury from a pistol accident involving their son. The jurors and commissioners depart reflecting on the harsh conditions of Tweed’s imprisonment.
