Stratford jail called a modern black hole in town report
Special to The Farmer Stratford residents read a harsh critique of the Stratford jail housed in the convict ship Success. The piece compares conditions unfavorably to the old English convict transport and describes a tiny window heating by a rusty stove no toilet facilities and overcrowding sometimes thirty inmates. The writer urges reforms as winter exposure worsens sickness risks. Also notes a lecture at Pilgrim Baptist Church and local gossipy items about Capt. Hiram Munson and Labor Day plans.
