Letter II. Plan for a Penitentiary Inspection-House. 150

Before you look at the plan, take in words the
general idea of it. The building circular.
The building is circular.

The apartments of the Prisoners occupy the circumference. You may
call them, if you please, the Cells.

These Cells are divided from one another, and the Prisoners by that
means secluded from all communication with each other, by partitions,+
in the form of radii, issuing from the circumference towards the center,
and extending as many feet as shall be thought necessary to form the largest
dimension of the Cell.

The apartment of the Inspector occupies the center: You may call
it if you please the Inspector's Lodge.

It will be convenient in most, if not in all cases, to have a vacant
space or area all round, between such center and such circumference. You
may call it if you please the intermediate or annular area.

About the wit width of a Cell may be sufficient for a passage from
the outside of the building to the Lodge.

The inner circumference Each Cell has, in the outward circumference,
a window, large enough, not only to light the Cell, but, through
the Cell, to afford light enough to the correspondent part of the Lodge.

The inner circumference of the Cell is formed by an iron
grating, so light as not to skreen any part of the Cell from the
Inspector's view.
