Article 7. In regard As to what concerns the
specification of in regard to wholesome food, Mr Bentham
would be very happy will do his endeavours to meet Mr Ford's ideas
without further discussion, notions with acknowledgement
sensible to the obliging attention he has
observe shown not to proscribe insist on conditions injurious to
the principle.
In this view he proposes the following viz article to stand thus:
"Art. 7. Each Prisoner shall be supplied every day with
"wholesome food: viz: bread interchanged occasionally interchangeable with rice
"pease, potatoes or other roots commonly
"used for human food or with messes made
"of oatmeal or other meal, or grain commonly used for
"human food, to the extent of these shares his demandas much as he shall choose to eat
"together with a competent allowance of meat or
"fish, or soups or other messes made of any
"such animals and parts of animals as are usually employ'd
"for human food: but the quantity of such which
"said allowance of meat or what is mentioned as the equivalent thereof
"equivalent thereto as aforesaid shall also be
"made in like manner without stint to every man
"who shall be employ'd in work and who shall
"exert himself with ordinary diligence in the execution
"of the same: but the in case of idleness or misbehaviour the
"quantity or of such meat or succedaneum to meat is
"expressly reserved as well as the quality to the choice of the said Jeremy Bentham
and his successors as a means of engaging the said Prisoners
without the spur of corporal severities to set their hands to labour."⊞ ⊞ N.B. There is no specification at all with regard to food in any of the Hulk Contracts.
