Imprisonment – examined.
In the description it is not so different: for as there are few no
persons but what have been confined by illness, or by
the obligation of undergoing confining themselves to some employment
less agreeable to them than some other that has proposed
itself to their imagination⊞ ⊞ besides observing their having observed others in the like situation, when they hear or read
the word or at least imprisonment, they will connect with it the
idea of such of the inconveniences of confinement as their own
experience or observation has made known to them.
[a]
From p.3
In pecuniary punishment neither does the
infliction of the punish execution make any appearance,
nor is there so much as any instrument of punishment
to bring to men's minds the idea of the
suffering. In perma Imprisonment there is an instrument
of punishment, the Prison: The business
is then in the case of the severest mode degree of Imprisonment
to make the appearance of the Prison as
tragical as possible.
In point of subserviency to reformation, I see there is no
thing that distinguishes this mode of punishment
remarkably from another. It's efficacy in this respect
is as to it's experienced severity.
