PROPOSAL
FOR
A NEW AND LESS EXPENSIVE MODE
OF
EMPLOYING AND REFORMING CONVICTS.
Substance converted into a Contract with the Treasury, as per Draught,
dated 1796, settled by the Law Officers, and printed in 28th Report of
Committee on Finance. 26th June 1798: p. 66. Appendix (F.3.)
The author, having turned his thoughts to the Peniitentiary System from its first origin,
and having lately contrived a Building in which any 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 in-
-duced to make public the following Proposal for Maintaining and Employing Convicts in
general, or such of them as would otherwise be confined on board the Hulks, for 25 p34
cent, less than it consts Government to maintain them there at present; deducting also the
average value of 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 expenses of the BUILDING,
fitting up and stocking*, without any advance to be made by Fovernment for that purpose,
requiring only that the abatement and deduction above mentioned shall be suspended for the
first year.
