of offering you a few separate considerations, applicable to the different
purposes, to which it appears capable of being applied.
A Penitentiary-house more particularly is, (I am sorry I
must correct myself and say was to have been) what every prison might,
and in some degree at least ought to be, designed at once as a place of
safe-custody, and a place of labour. Every such place must necessarily be,
whither designed or not, an Hospital: a place where sickness will
be found at least, whither provision be or be not made for its relief. I will
consider this plan in its application to these three distinguished purposes.
Against escapes, and in particular on the part of Felons of
every description, as well before as after conviction, persons from the
desperateness of whose situation attempts to the escape are more particularly
to be apprehended, it would afford, as I dare say you
see already, a degree of security, which perhaps has been scarce hitherto
reached by conception, mush less by practice. Overpowering the
the guard requires an union
