Framed Print of Prison Torture, Shower-Bath, 1858
Harper's Weekly: "fearful picture of the mismanagement of our public institutions...a negro convict named More was, imprisoned in the State Prison at Auburn, was showered to death by the prison officials...all the water that was in the tank, amounting to from three to five barrels, the quantity is uncertain, was showered upon him in spite of his piteous cries; a few minutes after his release from the bath he fell prostrate, was carried to his cell, and died in five minutes." The use of the shower-bath as a means of coercing criminals into submission to the orders of prison authorities began to be general about the year 1845. Harper's Weekly December 18, 1858. © Science Source
