Police Report
Expense of prevention
N.S. Wales
By what is above Your Committee understands so far as
the Penitentiary system is employed for New
South Wales, in as far as transportation to that
immensely distant country is resorted to opens
a very different scene. The expense of the
Penitentiary system has its known limits is fixed and moderate :
at the first and at the worst £ 13, 00: with
a prospect of reduction to less and less and perhaps
to nothing: the expense of that plan
of forced colonization presents itself as without
bounds. It has risen already to upwards
of £ 120,000 with an impending and unknown
remainder and it threatens a rapid and inevitable
increase.
The advantage peculiar to this mode of
punishment is simple and striking: the benefit
of example is indeed sacrificed: but in return the
security against repeated delinquencies on the
part of the same delinquents is appears greater than
what is presented by any other mode of punishment
short of death. But on the other hand
the it is in the nature of this security advantage to grow
less and less every day: to be the result of the
same causes of from which other and very considerable
disadvantages are the inseparable
effects, and the price at which it is purchased
is so already so great, the increase of it so
certain and the limits to that increase so perfectly
uncertain that it seems high time for
Your Parliament Committee to contemplate it in a financial
point of view.
