Note 2 — Chapter VII · SIBERIAN PRISONS (continued).

The annual cost of provisions for each prisoner at Kara is 65 roubles and 72¾ kopecks—say £6 10s., and for men’s clothing 39 roubles 8⅜ kopecks, or £4. Women’s clothing is rather less expensive, so that the annual cost for food and clothing of men is £10 10s., and of women £10. In the new prison at Petersburg my notes give 25 kopecks a day as the cost for each prisoner, 15 kopecks being spent for food. This represents for the year 91 roubles 25 kopecks (rather more than £9), and 54 roubles 75 kopecks (£5 10s.) respectively, and excludes, I presume, the item of clothing, since this prison at the capital is for those awaiting trial, and who consequently wear their own clothes.
