Two circumstances have been two <add>disastrous circumstances - have</add>
One circumstance was in a greater or less degree been common
to transportation in both systems of <add> transportation - punishment under both its forms: in point of comfort, the condition of
each Convict, under and during the punishment, was has been matter
of pure contingency: his chance and measure of while <add>while in point of morality, his reformation,
depending upon the same unforeseeable unforeseeable <add> winds, has been <add>left alike , have been in
the same case. <add>to be the sport of fortune. The In both respects — happiness and
morality — his condition was has been thrown altogether out of the view

physical comfort, a Panopticon is a vast hospital but

the efficacy of the regimen, is at all times open to all eyes. In this
