Letter 3d
increase has had one or more of three objects:— prevention
of disease — affording working room — affording
means of separation for Convicts of different descriptions:
sequestration in various degrees of perfection, up to
the pinnacle of penal luxury — total solitude. —
Space for prevention of disease is a most indisputable
improvement, wherever necessary, but an
improvement that has no particular reference to
penitentiary discipline. Of this salutary discipline,
space for separation, space for working, may be
stated as to the two characteristic features, so
far as architecture is concerned. —
In the increase of space for separation,
reformation, or rather non—increase ofor corruption,
was the object aimed at. This object will have
been compassed in a greater or less degree of perfection
according to the sufficiency of the architectural
means, and the use made of them in the
management. As far as my opportunities of observation
extended — and the enquiry was once
an object to me — one great obstacle to this end
appears to apply in common, and with scarce
any exception that I could observe, to all these
prisons: I mean the want of compleatness in
the plan of separation. What matters it whether
there be certain times of the day in which the
raw are debarred from getting instruction from
the reprobate, if there are others in which they are
brought together? In the department of wholesome instruction
