on any existing plan in the case of foreign prisoners
1. Uniform conspicuously distinctive.
2. Close dress, in which the concealment of any
weapon suited to the purpose of offence or defence
would be impracticable.
3. Mark, by which, on the mere baring the
habitually covered arms, (the other being habitually
uncovered) the condition of the person
in question, viz. the fact of his being a person belonging,
in the character of a prisoner, to the prison
in question, would, for weeks at least after escape,
be manifested.
4. Constant division of the prisoners into small
and those assorted companies.
5. The prisoners, distinguishable at a distance , each of them by
a number, marked upon his cloathing at the
back & at the breast.
6. No outlet for the Prisoners into the enclosed
area, but through a passage commanded by a
guard; and so narrow, that no more than one
can make his exit at a time, nor then but
under a horizontal bar, so stationed, as, by obliging
each person to stoop, to render impossible
any acquisition of conjunct force by running.
7. Light kept constantly thrown, by night as
well as by day, not only upon every spot to
which the prisoners have access within the prison,
but upon the whole surface of the four surrounding
walls.
8. For the purpose of inspection, eyes in considerable number
