Letter II. Plan for a Penitentiary Inspection - House.
partition into two, at any part required, setting down the one half, at such
a distance from the other, as shall be equal to the aperture of a door.
These windows of the Inspector's Lodge open into the intermediate
area, in form of doors, in as many places as shall be deemed necessary to
admit of his communicating readily with any of the Cells.
Small Lamps, in the outside of each window of the Lodge,
backed by a reflector, to throw the light into the corresponding Cells,
backed by would extend to the night the security of the day.
To save the troublesome exertion of voice, that might otherwise be
necessary, and to prevent one prisoner from knowing, that the Inspector
was occupied by another prisoner at a distance, a small tin tube might
reach from each Cell to the Inspector's Lodge, passing across the
area, and so in, at the side of the correspondent window of the Lodge.
By means of this implement, the slightest whisper of the one might be heard
by the other, especially if he had proper notice to apply his ear to the
tube.
