ABSTRACT
Of course the law must be upheld; order must be preserved; crime must be discouraged; but as I le the prison — a casual stranger, unversed in Indian manners, customs and temptations — my sympathies somehow went out to the wearers of yellow, red and brown — semi-barbarous children, uneducated, naturally cunning, and, many of them, with the full blood of a thousand lawless generations coursing through their fettered veins.
