Bentham's inventions
Convict labour is
capable of being rendered
profitable —
and to what a large extent [+]

3. That by the Panopticon
construction
the security for ness orderliness
and tractability
as also for exactness
of workmanship
and quantity of
work can could not but
be much superior
in the case of an ordinary the prisoners

working on
