Panopticon Convict Proposal 1793
Supplemental
Elucidations
of Divine Service, but on ordinary days at meal
times or times of work: providing thereby a system
of superintendance, universal, unchargeable
and uninterrupted, the most effectual and
indestructible of all securities against abuse.
Such are the methods that have occurred
to him for the accomplishing that identification
of interest with duty, the effectuating of which
in the person of the Governor, is declared to be one
of the leading objects of the Penitentiary Act.
The station of Jailor is not in common account
a very elevated one: the addition of
Contractor has not much tendency to raise
it. He little dreamt, when he first launched
into the subject, that he was to become a
Suitor, and perhaps in vain, for such an
Office. But inventions unpractised might
be in want of the inventor: and a situation,
thus clipped of emoluments, while it was
loaded with obligations, might be in want
of candidates. Penitrated therefore with
the importance of the end, he would
not suffer himself to see any thing unpleasant
or discreditable in the means.
1793 June 8th
Supplemental Elucidations
1 Spot Battersea Rise1. The Spot for the Establishment to
be Battersea Rise, being the Spot and
the only Spot of which Possession can be
obtained immediately* under the Penitentiary
*No other Place could be had without fresh
Parliamentary Powers, and a repitition of the
Proceedings which in the former instance consumed
several years. And why look out for
any other Spot than one which has been so
universally and solemnly approved? See
Commons Report 22.d March 1784. p. 4.
