But, any such number as 2000 would it not
(I hear it asked) be an unwieldy number?—too
unwieldy for good management?—Oh, yes:— on
every ordinary plan, —on any but the central
inspection plan,—too unwieldy by a great deal.
Nine hundred was the number of the priso—
—ers that, on the original and supposed highly
finished Penitentiary Plan, as per 19.G.3.C.74
were to have been confined in the town that
was to have been built for that purpose at
Battersea rise: and, as to Houses,
nine hundred — being the num—
—ber of separate Houses, which, over and above
such as were to be occupied in common, were
to have been included in that town—was as—
—suredly too great a number for good manage—
—ment: 2000 two thousand consequently in a much greater
degree too great.
On every as yet exemplified plan of construc—
—tion and management, the natural & naturally
prevalent apprehension of unwieldiness has
therefore very just ground to stand upon.
But upon the Panopticon Principle,—whether
it be for Paupers or for Convicts — for free and
innocent men or for prisoners — though the
number of the inhabitants be 2000, the House is
but one: and that one House is capable of being pervaded in all directions—pervaded by
a single glance, and without so much as a change
of posture. change
