Passage there
either twoone
Flights of life in
the middle, the
being antwo one on each
each side underneath,

the plan, if females

to put one on the
Bed, before the pan
is taken out.

where with only
Bars enough for
the support of it

Temporary Panopt.

Iron Bars on the outside
to only the lowest
floor and 1/2 floor.

can only be at the

up or down - or in
folding doors, with
iron plates - with Sections
