B II Ch.5 Imprisonment end
Ch.V.
Imprisonment examined. We proceed to examine
Pursuing the cause the that has been taken with
toeach of the several species of punishments above spoken
of, We shall now proceed to examine the degree
in which imprisonment possesses the several
properties desirable in a lot of punishment.
1. Imprisonment possesses in great ation the
property of efficacy with respect to disablement
in great perfection; The most dangerous offender is deprived of the
power of doing mischief so long as his confinement
continues his viscious propensities may continue
at the highest pitch, but he will have no opportunity
of exercising them.
2. In respecting Frugal subserviency to Frugality convertibility
to profit, of th inconvenience of imprisonment,
none are convertible to profit. Such
personsPrisoners whose means of gaining a livel livelyhood depend upon their being at liberty
& who are thus deprived of the means of supporting
themselves, must either starve or be
maintained at the public cost. Nor does the
evil stop here: theth habits of industry being thus
for an indefinite period suspended, are not
unfrequently never resumed; and thdischarged prisoner
instead of returning to an honest course of
industry supports himself by the vicious habits
that that he has contracted while in a State
of confinement*
