Imprisonment examined judged of

Of the inconveniences of Simple Imprisonment
none are convertible to Profit.

On the part score of
Frugality [on the part of the state] the whole punishment
is exceptionable on account of the 8th
inconvenience [of Simple Imprisonment]. Such persons
whose livelyhood depends upon their liberty, must be
either starve or be maintained at public cost.

In point of certainty, Simple Imprisonment it is objectionable
on account in respect of the 7th & 8th & 9th of the inconveniences
attached to it.

In point of Equability it is objectionable in respect of
the 3d head of inconvenience. But this objection applies if the persons to whom this objection
very few persons is apt to apply are very few and where it does apply it is in
comparison a very slight one.

In respect of the 7th & 8th heads of inconvenience the
objection to it [in point of equability is] on this score are more serious.
The persons however to whom it is likely to apply in respect of the 7th are very few: and in
their case it might be obviated by the an order of
the Magistrate. The inconvenience is the loss to be
regretted in as much as the bulk of prisoners being
always of the poorer sort, would commonly be effectually
debarred from poorer applying the remedies in question by the natural circumstance of want of fortune,
as by this factitious one of want of liberty.
