The lattersays (p. 371), We find that imprisonment, on the whole, has no apparenteffect upon physique, as measured by body weight, or upon mentality, asmeasm-ed by intelligence. Now this latter is a very limited statement, andnot at aU contradictory to the contention of all the other observers who haveset forth the opposite.
