Abstract
Convict Stations were commonplace during the 19th century. Despite the fact that thousands of prisoners of the British Empire served out their sentences under deplorable conditions, scant information exists on the health of these men. Using Gibraltar’s Convict Station as a case study, a profile of life of the convicts is documented. An examination of the health profile of the prisoners for the period from 1860 to 1873 suggests that their overall health status was similar to that of the military, another transient group resident on the Rock. However, during the cholera epidemic of 1865, the health of the convicts was severely compromised with significantly higher attack and mortality rates. Factors responsible for the higher rates can be attributed to a cluster of vulnerabilities that were intrinsic to the convict way of life where exposure to a host of risk factors played out during a compressed period of time.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
