Capital Punishment examined
in this case will be greater: it will greater in proportion
as this such succedaneous punishment is made choice of
subservient to reformation.
In the respect of Frugality therefore it is obviously
inferior to every other mode of punishment Simply afflictive punishment,
Deformation, Laborious punishment, Imprisonment
Quasi Imprisonment and Relegation. It is inferior
to some species and but superior to others of
Disablement and Mutilation: thise I mean in
which the patient is disqualified from getting his
livelyhood.
It is pretty much upon a part with
Banishment. But if any thing it is rather inferior.
For so long as a man is in being, though
excluded for ever from his own country, there is
a chance of his bringing producing a profit to it indirectly.
Among the articles he buys with what his labour produces the produce of
his labour in the foreign country he resides in, him in his foreign residence
may be some of those which have been produced or improved by the labour
of his own: so much therefore of this latter that labour as
he gives birth to, so much is the value he is still still is
of to his own country.
Equability is another point in which this
punishment is eminently deficient. To a person
indeed taken at large random it is upon an average a very
heavy punishment; though still subject to considerable
variation. But [to a person taken out of[ the class of
first-rate delinquents it is liable to much still greater
variation
