contrivance. Such are those which know suggested the idea of Penitentiary
houses: in which the objects of Safe-custody, Confinement, Solitude, Forced
Labour, and Instruction, were all of them to be kept in view. If all these
objects can be accomplished together, of course, with at least equal certainty
and facility, may any lesser number of them.

paragraphLetter II.
Before you look at the Plan take in words the general idea
of it. The Building is circular. The apartments for the Prisoners occupy the
circumference: you may call them, if you please, the Cells. These Cells are
divided from one another, and the Prisoners, by that means, secluded from all
communication with each other, by partitions in the form of radii, issuing
from the circumference to toward the center, and extending as many feel as shall
be thought necessary to form the largest dimension of the Cell. The
apartment of the Inspector occupies the center: you may call it, if you please,
the Inspector's Lodge. It will be convenient, in most if not in all cases,
to have a vacant space or area all round, between such center and outer
circumference. You may call it, if you please, the Intermediate or Annular
Area. About the width of a Cell may be sufficient for a passage from the cell
