Jail Improvements

There is another circumstance about this plan of
the improved Gaols: the time space of time for the
improvement is rather narrow of the scantiest. Four months
Your Lordship may recollect was the space of time which quantity that
was to the Penitentiary establishment on the
ground could be allowed for the plan of lapse of time: four months is all that can
be allowed to the Duke and Co for the improvement all the improvements
of their Gaols. that can be sure for their plan about improved Gaols. In March 1800 (once more) came
the letter ordering preparation for the 2000. What
improvements had at down to that time been made in these
four Gaols? the whole Kingdom full of Gaols? Not enough be so much as to keep for keeping
down the number of Penitentiary prisoners to the originally
granted pronounced thousand: not enough so much as to prevent
that number from being doubled the one thousand from swelling to two.⊞ ⊞ Two thousand is the number ordered to be prepared for in July March: 500 is the utmost number that consistently with the quantity of new Gaols there can be allowed to the Penitentiary House in July: difference 1500 min: even supposing the 800 to be not backroom men but real ones. Four months then
is the time that in which Mr King has for finding Gaol room
the Gaols must have sprung up to an amount that to be of any
use to the Duke partnership association must have been adequate to the
reception of those fifteen hundred. In four months
time new Gaols enough for fifteen hundred prisoners
and upon the improved plan, a separate room to each
apartment to each apartm gentleman besides common
rooms. Ask him my Lord, ask your Under
Secretary: ask Mr your Mr King for now
such is your felicity the Mr King that was the Duke of Portlands Mr King
is become yours – ask him for the list of this four
months crop batch of Gaols: not forgetting the list of the
Fairies of Genii by which they were built: for as to mortal
man – it is needless to say – he is not equal to it.
