Letter II. Plan for a Penitentiary Inspection-House.
This more under the head of Hospitals. (a)
Note
(a) There is one subject, which, though not of the most dignified
kind, nor of the most pleasent kind to expatiate upon, is of too great importance
to health and safe-custody to be passed over unconsidered: I mean the provision to be made for
carrying off the result of necessary evacuations. A common necessary might be
dangerous to security, and would be altogether incompatible with the plan of
solitude. To have the filth carried of by the attendants, would be altogether
as incompatible with cleanliness: since without such a degree of regularity
as it would be difficult, if not ridiculous, to attempt to inforce, in
case of health, and altogether impossible, in case of sickness, the air of
each cell, and by that means the lodge itself, would be liable to be kept
in a state of of constant contamination, in the intervals betwixt one visit
and another. This being the case, I can see no other eligible means, than that
of having in each cell a fixt provision made for this purpose in the construction
of the building.
Betwixt every other two Cells, at the end of the partition
which divides them, a hollow shaft or tunnel is left in the brick-work of
the exterior wall: which tunnel, if there be several stories to the building,
is carried up through all of them.
Into this tunnel is inserted under each Cell, the bottom of an
earthen pipe (like those applied in England to the tops of chimneys) glazed
in the inside. The upper end, opening into the Cell, is covered by a seat
