To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is usually no punishment for infraction of rules except in about 25 per cent of the jails, where the prisoners are locked up. In two cases, Key West and Quincy, they are given bread and water for three days. In another, they are placed in a dungeon for some offenses. At Ft. Lauderdale they are given no food and receive a whipping or beating. The Kangaroo Court is allowed in only three jails: Jacksonville, Titusville, and Blountstown. In Miami they have the court, but the prisoners do not ...punish the offender. They only fine him or turn him over to the sheriff with recommenda- tions for punishment. Prisoners are employed in keeping the interior of all jails clean, and at Pensacola, Key West, and a few other places work around the building, washing windows, keeping up the yard, etc. At Ft. Lauderdale the prisoners are said to work on the sheriff's farm; while at Key West they raise a garden, where the com- mittee seemed to get the impression that the prisoners have the benefit of the lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage which they raise, although cabbage is the only one of these found on their menu.
