But to suppose that men consist only of
two Classes the altogether good and the altogether bad is a
vulgar prejudice - The Crime which subjects
a man to the Pack of the law may have
him possessed of a thousand good qualities
and more especially of sympathy for the
misfortunes of others - Daily Experience
may convince us of this and lead us to believe
that the Criminal are not always altogether vicious-
The Considerations derived from
the Moral Sanction are the pain various
evils positive and negative apprehended from
the ill will of such persons with whom the
person in question is in society.- Whilst
a man remains in general Society though
his character may be the subject of general
suspicion he will be obliged to keep a guard
upon his actions that he may not too strongly
confirm these suspicions and render himself
altogether despicable:- But there in a
prison the society is considered having
interests of its own opposite to the former
governed by habits and principles opposite
to those which are approved in general Society
The habits and practices which were odious there
because they were mischievous there, not being
mischievous are not odious here.- Theft is not
odious among thieves who have nothing to be stolen.
It is in vain for them to make pretentions to Probity
They agree therefore by a tacit convention to undervalue
this virtue. The virtue ed qualities of Patience, intrepidity
