Note 7 — Chapter IX · FROM THE CELLS

In the Report of the Commissioners of Prisons for the year ending March 31, 1911 (Part I.), the Surveyor of Prisons tells that: “The provision of opening panes and clear glass in cell windows has been continued ... another two years’ work (if funds are forthcoming) should complete the prisons.” Two years to wait—and for want of money from the richest exchequer in the world! But they would have waited much longer if it had not been for the Suffragettes.
