(a) In the prisons of Cap-Haitien, during the years 1918, 1919, and 1920, more than 4,000 prisoners died.
(b) At Chabert, an American camp, 5,475 prisoners died during these three years, the average being five deaths a day.
(c) At Cap-Haitien, in 1919, eight corpses of prisoners a day were thrown into the pits.
(d) The mortality rate is just as high in the prisons of Port-au-Prince and Gonaives.
(e) At Cap-Haitien, out of 500 prisoners, the average mortality is four a day, i. e. 24 per cent per month, or only 1 per cent less a quarter of this whole number.
(f) Before American occupation and the seizure of the prisons by the American officers the number of prisoners in the Cap-Haitien prison did not exceed, on an average, 40 a year.
(g) At this time the mortality rarely reached the number of four prisoners a year.
The ghastly mortality in the prisons together with confirmation by survivors reveals a record of atrocities, of brutality, and cruelty which defies description. It is a record for which it would be difficult to find a parallel.
