Difference
The punishment which Oscar Wilde is sentenced to undergo is the severest known to the law. It practically means a continuous period of
solitary confinement for the two years term of his sentence. Regular "jail birds" always prefer five years of penal servitude to two years imprisonment,
owing to the easier conditions of the former. Wilde will not be permitted to see any visitor for three months, but by exceptionally good conduct he can
secure a slight reduction of his sentence. Lord Alfred Douglas said that if Wilde were convicted he would take a house near the prison until his release,
but it is now clear that if Lord Alfred returns to England he will be arrested on the same charge as Wilde.
