Introd 187 Prime II 426

If in offering an Establishment in a distant country
it had been announced is that it must be merited by
a crime - what absurdity! what madness! would
this have been considered. Transportation however
cannot but be regarded by many unfortunate individuals,
as an advantageous offer, of which they can
not otherwise take the benefit, than by the commission
of a crime. Thus the law instead of awaking the
temptation adds in many instances to its force.

As to Imprisonment it is impossible to determine
whether or not this is an objective mode of
punishment, without being possessed of the most
minute details concerning the structure of the prison,
and their internal management. Prisons in general,
with very few exceptions, are composed contain all the
bad qualities that can be conceived most efficiently
for corrupting the body and mind. Considering them
solely with regard to the absolute callousness to which
their inmates inhabitants are condemned. The
Prisons are . From means of employ
the minds of the prisoners are debilitated and
enervated, their limbs lose their energy and their
suppleness: deprived at once of their reputation &
of their hab industrious habits, they quit their
prison but to be stimulated urged by want to the commission
of fresh crimes. Submitted Subjected to the despotic
authority of subordinates officers depraved by the
spectacle of crime and the unconstrained exercise of
tyranny, the unfortunate prisoner may be
exposed to a thousand unknown sufferings
For which they are against their fellow creatures
& hardens them against punishment. In respect
of morals a prison is a school in which will is
learnt with much measures much more efficacious
for teaching vice are taken that can be taken for
teach employed for teaching virtue. Listlessness,
and want, preside in this species of education.
Education here should stimulates to the commission
of crimes. All aspire to rival the most abandoned
