# Omsk barracks crowding and prison hospital sickness as received in the later notes

Date: 1850

## The fact

The Omsk prison, as later written in House of the Dead, packed convicts in barracks and a hospital where sickness circulated. It is not the 1862 book as a justice text and not fettered labour as a work-fact. No unique typhus table is invented; the book’s hospital pages are the source-limit.

## Context

Infect path: crowding. Medium confidence on named diseases; high on the hospital as a place. Shared with other convicts. State prison design. Distinct from his own epilepsy.

The attached driver is infectious-disease-transmission. The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

## Evidence and sources

Gutenberg House of the Dead at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37536 carries the hospital chapters. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky independently dates Omsk. Goslitmuz is official neighbourhood.

Official or archival record: The House of the Dead — English public-domain text (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37536; Project Gutenberg).

## Significance

Prison crowding-sickness is an infect path of medium confidence and modest-to-moderate weight. It is not a unique 1850s Siberian epidemic series.

Shared responsibility is part of Omsk barracks crowding and prison hospital sickness as received in the later notes. Naming Fyodor Dostoyevsky does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1850-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## What is established and what is not

Established as received: sick crowding in Omsk barracks/hospital. Not established: a unique pathogen table. Distinct from katorga-as-labour and from the book-as-publication. Omsk hospital pages, lice and crowding 1850 start, not Vremya publication, not falling sickness. Official https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37536 is not independent https://www.britannica.com/biography/Fyodor-Dostoyevsky. Later UNESCO listings and films are not this lifetime instrument.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Hospital crowding is not the 1862 serial and not epilepsy. Mixed effects of Omsk barracks crowding and prison hospital sickness as received in the later notes are separate paths.
