American Prison Life, Blackwell's Island, New York: Dinner-Time, 1876. '...the inmates, who are here treated with compulsory hospitality, must take their mid-day meal upon the conditions prescribed by its ordinary rules. They have to pick up their loaves of bread from a heap protected by the railing shown in Mr. Regamey's sketch, so as to avoid the greedy scramble which might be expected in a company whose manners are likely to be as bad as their morals...There must be a certain degree of strictness in the domestic habits of this large household on Blackwell's Island, which is perhaps not quite agreeable to some of its visitors. But it is by their own fault that they find themselves lodgers and boarders there'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
