XV Hulk system compared with Penitentiary and New
South Wales systems.
From the foregoing demonstrations — if such by
curtesy at least they may be stiled — may be deduced,
in the form of a corollary, a short estimate on
the subject of the Hulks. In the scale of utility,
the station of this system would be found, if my judgment does
not deceive me, in the midway between that of penitentiary
imprisonment, taken without the benefit of the Panopticon
improvements, and that punishments of
penal colonization, taken on the footing on which
it stands in New South South Wales. With the
former it agrees, in respect of its purity from
drunkenness with the attendant miseries and
mischiefs: with the latter, in respect of the promiscuous
aggregation, with the universal corruption
issuing from it. As a preventative of present
mischief — of mischief considered as commissible
under and during the punishment — it may rank
not much below the Penitentiary system: it
stands at a prodigious height above
New South Wales. On the ground of healthiness
(meaning physical healthiness) cleared as it is
from drunkenness, it may again rank not so much
below the penitentiary system: on the ground of
moral health, as a school of post-liberation
wickedness, it stands scare at all above the level
of New South Wales. In the article of comfort,
considering the miseries of forced and crowded
association
