I. Penitentiary
System

violable sobriety, the
select aggregation,
the constancy of occupation,
and the
subjection to inspection,
more or less
uninterrupted, according
to the plan
or architecture and
management.

6. To incapacitation
for fresh offences during
the general term,
compleatly effectual.

7. To prevention of
fresh offences after

conducive,
by consummate corruption
