expence and of preventing that shocking corruption of
Morals which is generated in all Gaols where Prisoners
Live Idly together - Since that Period I have had
occasion to consider a Plan digested by Jeremay
Bentham QEsq<hi rend="underline">r. of Queen Square Place Westminster
in which all the Ideas I had formed on this interesting
Subject seemed to be concentrated with many other
Improvements which had not occurred to me and
I have no difficulty in giving it as my decided opinion
that if the Plan proposed by that Gentleman is
adapted and carried into effect infinite and
incalculable advantages will arise to the Public not
only by a very considerable diminution of the enormous
expence at present incurred but in the Improvement
of the Morals and in the future utility of the Convicts
who may be placed under such an Establishment.
The Witness in explanation of the Outlines of
M<hi rend="underline">r. Benthams Plan delivered in a Paper Entitled
"Proposals for a new and less expensive mode of
"employing and reforming Convicts to-gether
with the Outline of a new Plan of Construction
for a Building adapted to that purpose.
Question 11. What Ground have you for supposing
that a great corruption of Morals arises from the
System of the Hulks?
Answer. As far as my observations have been directed
to Convicts who have been discharged from those Establishments
