Panopt J.B. to Penitentiary Committee. Letter III

II. 11 23.
By this means in
some shape or other
it is in his power to
output from every
dealer an advantage to
himself.

§4
II.12 24
In the simplest
shapes this advantage
will increase
the price to the prisoners.

1. Governors has a percentage
on dealers
profit.

2. He has a fixt rent
out of it. p.6.

II.13 25.
Other shapes in which
the prices to prisoners
are not necessarily increased
depend on
accidental circumstances:
ex. qr.

II.14 26
1. Custom given by Dealers
relative to Governors
do.

2. Electioneering interest
given by dealer
to Governor.

Aris & Mainwaring
alluded to.— This theory
there reduced to practice.
p.6.

II.15. 27.
These casual circumstances
in present wanting, enhancement
of prices to prisoners is
a necessary consequence
: if prisoners to dealers profit:
if wanting, to Governors.
p7

20.
As the ordinary profit it permitted
II.16
would have
been reaped without
risk of punishment
or disrepute, this
might naturally enough
have satisfied the Governor,
& cured him
from trying for extra &
undue profit p8.

II.17 29
But this being taken
from him and the faculty
of reaping profit
left him as above, all
profit he reaps can
not but be in excess,
since less than ordinary
profit the dealer
whom he fleeces
will not take
p.89.

§.5 III.1 30
Against inquiry from
ill will, general or
special, the iep separation.
in question applies
not: the principle
of publicity does.
p9.

§.6 IVII.1 31.
Uneconomicalness of the
arrangement—Additional
salary required by it.
p.10

IV.2 32.
In the Hulks the profit
in the prohibition of
which consists the supposed
security provided
in the case of the
House of Correction constitutes
the sole remuneration.

To learn what the
withholding costs the
public, ask the Hulk
contractor what he
would take for giving
up this advantage.
p.10.

IV.3 33.
On the case of the Hulks
this supported security
has no place: though
they are and must be
so much more difficulty
inspectable than
the closest House of
Corrections. p.11.

§.6. continued.
IV.4
34.
Hence, to be consistent,
those by whom the
supposed security is
regarded as real should
either insist on its
being applied to the
Hulks—or on the abolition
of the Hulks
p.11

35
Against abuse the
efficiency of any security
will be as the
amplitude of the means
and the potency of the
motives afforded by
it
