The cost of rations in prisons exceeds EGP 65,000 per year. It is hoped that those in charge will consider economy in some of this expenditure by using maize bread, which the fellahin eat in their homes, instead of wheat bread, which is issued to prisoners. This maize bread is much better than the bread they eat. They were previously given wheat bread, and this was changed in the prison of Beni Suef. Maize bread was issued to the prisoners there for more than a year. The prison doctor's report on this bread was encouraging. After the prisoners were weighed, it was found that they were all fed wheat bread and their health had improved compared to the previous year, with fewer cases of stomach ailments among them. The new prisoners did not object to the bread because it was like the wheat bread they ate at home, and even better. However, those who had been sentenced to long terms and were used to eating wheat bread in their prison objected, of course, to the change in their food, which caused them distress. The only objection to maize bread is that it becomes stale when left overnight and is no longer fit to eat or acceptable. However, fresh bread is given to the prisoners every day. The administration has decided to introduce maize bread into all prisons in the country, which will save EGP 80,000 to EGP 100,000 per year.

"33" - The White Slave Trade The Alexandria police, in cooperation with the Society for the Prevention of the White Slave Trade, dealt with 2253 underage girls throughout the year as they arrived on shore. They were handed over to the religious or consular authorities to which they belonged, or to a special orphanage. 52 individuals involved in this vile trade were reported, 31 of whom were from the country. Efforts are being made to curb this scourge, but foreign privileges prevent the Egyptian government from taking effective measures, as was the case last year.

"34" - The Pilgrimage The total number of Egyptian pilgrims this year was 75,000, an increase from their total in 1909. Approximately 16,000 foreign pilgrims passed through Egyptian territory on their way to the Hijaz. On December 23, 1911, it was announced that the pilgrimage was contaminated due to an outbreak of plague in Jeddah. This was confirmed on January 3rd, when the first cases of cholera occurred, and 45 Egyptian pilgrims contracted cholera, of whom 32 died. Apart from this, the health of all was good, and it is said that they are among the best pilgrims from other countries in terms of their environment and strength.
