Letter II. Plan for a Penitentiary Inspection House
Note continued.
prisoners, some allowance of water must necessarily be afforded, if it were 153
— only for drink, without regard to cleanliness. To forward that allowance
by hand to two or three hundred prisoners in so many different apartments,
might perhaps be as much as one man could do, if constantly employed.
For the raising of water by pumps to the necessary elevation, the labour
of the prisoners would suffice.
As to the materials, Brick, as every body knows, would be
the cheapest in xxxx: in London: and either Brick or Stone, in every other part
of England. Thus much as to the shell. But in a building calculated for duration, as this would
be, the expence of allowing the same materials to the floors, and laying
them upon arches, would, I imagine, not be deemed an unsuitable one:
especially when the advantage of a perfect security from fire is taken
into the account.
