Panopt. III Contract
§§.7
5 3. N. York 1802
1. Liberality as above to prisoners
2. Great number & high salaries of Keepers &c.
In this same Account, if, with reference to the present purpose, there were any adequate
use in scrutinizing into it, two other particulars points would,
I imagine be found observable —
The one is — the great liberality of the allowance made to
the prisoners made in the shape of provisions to the prisoners
compared with that made t in the case of
the Southwell prison, which will presently be brought
to view.
The other is — the multitude and high pay of
the persons employed in the Management of this American
prison, compared with the number and pay which
in the judgment of the Reverend Manager of that English
prison, would, in the case of a prison or the Panopticon plan, have
been requisite: the Numbers of prisoners in this American
prison not being half so great as that which
would have been consta constantly contained in the Panopticon prison,
viz. 1000 under the Con terms of the Contract.
And note, that besides their respective Salaries
as above, t in the Philadelphia prison the all the
above mentioned official persons had their diet,
and washing, the expence of which of the diet at least, may it will be seen
forming an a separate item in the Accounts of that prison to
the amount of D2,538:C68. for food and drink, besides
washing and other articles.
What renders these accounts so trustworthy, and comparatively so instructive is —
that there is not the of article which does not
form a distinct and separate item in the Account
that, of all the sort several articles purchased for the use
of the prison there is not one any one sort that does not in
form a distinct and separate article: and to the sorts
with very few exceptions — (still better had it been with none at all) are added
the quantities.
