Observations

Though for the present purpose it may suffice, yet in this
statement, were it ever to be made public, I fear I should be found not
to have done justice to the good economy of the Philadelphian Managers.

In this prison, throughout the whole of the former year 1801,
the system of management pursued was the comparatively disadvantageous
one above mentioned, viz the carrying on a variety of
manufacturing concerns, in which, as such, profit and loss by buying
and selling, was complicated with profit by wages of Labour.

In the year 1802, this less advantageous system
(the trades being all ordinary trades) was relinquished for the more
advantageous system, consisting in the letting out the labour of the
prisoners; taking this for the sole source of profit, do by wages of labour
simply, unencumbered with profit and loss by buying and selling.
This most simple of the two systems is the only one which, in the
Panopticon prison, I should have pursued, in the case of such
prisoners as, in that situation, would have been employed,
as above, each man in his own original trade. Of the more
complicated system, had it in my prison had any application,
the application would have been confined, to the case of such of
the prisoners, as would have been employed in my Brother's system of
mechanical inventions above mentioned; and, even in that case, the
more simple method would have been employed in preference,
so far as it would have been found applicable: taking in timber
boards and slabs for instance, to be sawed into boards and veneers, and after sawing, to be planed: wood to be manufactured into wheels,
sashes, chairs, tables and so forth.
