Construction
Escapes
The Prisoner is in his Cell. If he makes
his way out of it and from thence out of the building,
it must be at the front, at the rear, or
one side.
1. In front
By the front, I mean out at the windows. To
retard at least his exit that way, he has in
all the stories of Cells from which it would be possible
to drop without disablement or loss of life, a grating
of iron bars. To prevent it he has in the day
time the eye of at least one inspector occasionally constantly
perambulating in that time: and by night that of
a watchman, who though he has three times the
ground to command that any one day-inspector
has commands with at least equal spirit having
no books to keep nor converse to hold nor any thing
to do but perambulate. A The of lantern called a dark lantern serves
him as he makes his round to throw light into
every Cell.
By what means should a Prisoner master even
the slightest grating? By quiet means? such as
the use of a spring minute saws or of corrosive ?
He has not the implements. How should he come by
them? What stranger ever can approach him?
What packet is ever handed to him but through the
intervention of his keep guards? — If he had them, the use
