Prevention against EscapesConstruction
Escape
use of them requires time to work in unvisited unlooked at and
undisturbed.
Shall he climb down descend from story to story by the windows?
The windows afford him no projections on which he
can alight.
Shall he use ropes? — He has no ropes: nor
any materials from which a rope could be made
of at all, without hours upon hours of undisturbed
leisure.
Shall he get rid of the bars by violence?
Violence necessitates noise, which draws brings upon him the watchman
immedia without loss of time.
Can he elude both the eyes and ears sight and hearing of all
the Keepers? He can not of his comrades in the
same cell: and a law of the prison makes them
responsible for connivance. Where ignorance is plainly
impossible, it puts knowledge without information given
upon the footing of assistance.
Suppose all these impossibilities overcome
and that he got down — where is he got down
to? Not to the yards, but to a sunken area
7½ foot below the yards, with a parapet of 12 foot
to climb up before he is in the yards.
