PROPOSAL FOR A NEW AND LESS EXPENSIVE MODE OF EMPLOYING AND REFORMING CONVICTS.
THE author, having turned his thoughts to the Penitentiary System form its first origin,
and having lately contrived a Building in which a number of persons may be kept within
the reach of being inspected during every moment of their lives, and having made out, as he
flatters himself, to demonstration, that the only eligible mode of managing an Establishment
of such a nature, in a Building of such a construction, would be by Contract, has been induced
to make public the following Proposal for Maintaing and Employing Convicts in
general, or such of them as would otherwise be confined on board the Hulks, for 25 per
cent. less than it costs Government to maintain them there as present ; deducting also the
average vakye if the work at present performed by them for the Public : upon the terms
of his receiving the produce of their labour, taking on himself the whole expence of the BUILDING,
sitting up and stocking*, without any advance to be amde by Government for that purpose,
requiring only that the abatement and deduction above mentioned shall be suspended for the
first year.
