3. Jail Improvements
P [ ]: To The want of this means of ensuring the conjunction
of real with nominal inspection – was it not, in the instance
of the Middlesex County Jail in Coldbath Fields,
the cause, and the sole cause, of the consumption
which Parliament thought it necessary to make of its

Commissioners together with a small matter of public
money) in the investigation of abuses or supposed abuses?
– apropos such as in the nature of things could never
have existed in a prison building upon the Panopticon plan
– the central inspection plan – nor can be effectually
prevented any where else.
The use of the Panopticon principle in this particular
view stands among the advantages pointed
out in 1791 in the book, already mentioned – in a
passage for which in consideration of its almost predictive
appositeness I will beg Your Lordships indulgence here.
