Escapes From Workhouse Discussed By Superintendent
Col Shaw, Workhouse superintendent, recalls recent escapes and a two year old incident. In the older case prisoners used a broken riveted rod to fashion a rope from bed clothes and slipped between bars to reach the yard. They lowered one man down and disappeared, while two others accessed a monkey wrench to aid the break. The escape exposed weak fencing and a six inch gap, but the remaining plotters were not heard from again. The superintendent notes such grounds are poorly surrounded and wonders why more escapes don’t occur.
