The east side, opposite to the main gate, is occupied by the hospital in the centre, and by two wings on each side for the _infirmes_, who are still capable of light work, and for the _incurables_, who are unfit for any kind of labour. The remaining side on the north consists of four long galleries, _chauffoirs_, which are intended for the use of the colonists in inclement weather. Between these, placed centrally, are the lavatories and the canteen. There also is a library, from which they can obtain books on Sunday, in which at the time of our visit a tramp choir was practising with considerable skill under a tramp organist, and without any supervision. The dormitories are four large buildings on the west front flanking the approach to the main gate, and beyond these lies the large new church which the colonists have just erected. This will hold 1500 men standing, and is a very effective building. Adjoining are the farm-buildings, which are nearly all on a very lavish scale, and thoroughly modern in construction. To the northward are the workshops. All these also are admirably built, and are thoroughly suited to their purposes. Beyond these lie the brickyards, stoneyards, pottery works, tannery, cement yard, etc. The inmates are divided into six classes-- Class I. Men sentenced for offences against morality and for arson. Class II. Men sentenced to Colony life as a sequel to a term of imprisonment of less than one year. Men whose past history shows them to be dangerous to the community. Class III. Habitual vagabonds, mendicants, inebriates, and men generally unable to support themselves. Class IV. Men under twenty-one years of age. Class V. (_a_) The infirm and (_b_) the incurable. Class VI. First offenders.
