B.2.Ch.4

Chapter 4.
Imprisonment.

Imprisonment makes a much more extensive
figure than any other kind of hardship that
can be inflicted in the way of punishment
Every other kind of hardship (death alone excepted)
may be inflicted for two purposes — Punishment
and Compulsion this, already those two Imprisonment lendes these two purposes.
may be employed for another. Safe Custody
when thus employ'd it is not a punishment
properly so called. It is intended only to cause
the forthcomingness of an individual suspected
of having committed an offence that he
may be present to undergo the punishment
awarded approved for that offence if he be found
guilty. — When they employed it ought not
to be more severe than is necessary to inforce
forthcomingness. Whatever exceeds this is so
much misery in wasted.

When Imprisonment is intended
to operate as a punishment it may be understood
more or less severe according to the nature of
. of the offences and the condition of the
offender. — It ay be accompanied by forced
labour which may be imposed upon all; but
it ought not to be so imposed without reference to the
age the Rank the sex and the physical powers
of the individual, — Other punishments which
may be employ'd in addition to hard labour
and of which we shall have occassion to speek
in the next a future chapter are Diet, Solitude, and
Darkness. —
