TitleSurgeon's Reports on the Gaol
DescriptionThe surgeon, in answer to a circular letter from Lord Palmerston about the prevalence of pulmonary complaints in prisons, said there had been - owing to good ventilation - very little illness of the kind in Huntingdon Gaol. The new wards for separate confinement had at first caused nervous disorders, not because of separate confinement per se, but because of poor ventilation and damp walls, recently remedied by the installation of new air shafts.
