life of libres in penal colony from the trinidad guardian as the name suggests devils is land is not a paradise but it is cer tainly not the hell which the tales told by some fugitives from the pen al settlement who come trinidad would suggest the privations of prisoners have ben jvcrscnsationalizod responsi ble journalists who have visited cay enne report that by far the most re pulsive feature of the whole convict system in that which makes liberes out of convicts who have served oieir terms and who should normally bo allowed to go free instead they arc forced to remain in french gui ana where it is reported that work is by no means easy to obtain for a period equal to their original sen tence or for life if their sentence was longer than seven years this was he view expressed by miss may mottsnuth the author and artist in an interview with the trinidad guardian in may 1934 in february of that year miss marjorie schulcr a staff writer for the chris tian science monitor who passed through trinidad after a visit to dovlls islam fugitive who alleged diions there were not as bad as they had been pictured she quoted a convict as stating that in 10 years there had been an unbelievable change for the better a copy of the diet list in miss schulers possession showed that prisoners were given a cup of coffee with bread at 530 am at 1030 they had a meal of soup vegetables and meat and at 5 pm they par took of more vegetables cheese or jam and banans at 8 pm the lights were put out this conflicts with the statemtnl published by the jrinidad guardian yesterday trnr a devils sland fugitive who alleged that e was fured to wort from 6 am until 11 pm with only a cup of coffee and a morsel of meat to sustain him the hardest things about life in french guiana in addition to the libere system according to miss schuler were the brutality of pris oners toward one another and the possibility of poorly paid guards ex acting bribes from their charges the desperate men who escape to trinidad by boat from french guiana have sown the wind and are reaping the whirlwind but they are none the less the victims of an in humane system informed opinion will not however bo misled into placing the emphasis on the defects of this system in a direction where such emphasis is not justified recent announcement from is that no more convicts will be sent to cayenne and that the penal settle ment will be gradually abandoned has been welcomed in trinidad when this has been done the prob lem of dealing with fugitives will be solved and we shall have no more claims either
