Despard Prison Inquiry Reports Clean Well Regulated Facility
The committee examined the prison’s state and management. They found the site high and dry, clean, with good military confinement, and generally healthy prisoners when overcrowded, with sufficient provisions. They noted deficiencies in conspicuous display of regulations and the journals. The Despard petition is discussed, detailing close confinement and limited provisions, though evidence suggests improvements after initial weeks and some garden access.
