General Hard labour Cheapness Scheme &c
One objection to Imprisonment is the expence.
The dol criminals, employ'd or not employ'd must
at any rate be maintained. There must be a
place to keep them in. Prisons must be built.
If all the such criminals as used to be hanged suffer
transported death or transportation are to be
punished by Imprisonment, the Prisons must
be large and numerous. An establishment for
this purpose take it all together will be a considerable
object of national expence.
It is what I have seen a thousand times
proposed in books, that where the delinquent
has nothing no money, he should be made to labour for to the
profit of the party injured. [By the Roman
Law early on the in the an early period this was the case with respect to Insolvent
Debtors.] Those who make the proposal wish to see for propose such an institution
under the notion of it's being feasible
and it has occurred to me as it has to everybody is what I have wished for as much as anybody
take it for granted that in general a clear profit
is to be had upon the labour of a man,
habituated to such a course of life as malefactors
in general are habituated to, over and above the
expences of his maintenance.
The misfortune is that in this country so far
from there being a clear profit if upon the forced labour of
malefactors, it has never been in no instance as far as I can
learn been made to satisfy the expence of keeping
them.
The bulk of malefactors has hitherto been composed
In the large towns, but especially in the
metropolis
