XVII Improved Prisons — Wasteful as this Poor-house plan of Mr Pitt's
woul would have been , in comparison of the Suffolk
Poor-house plan , itself wasteful in comparison
of the Panopticon poor-house plan , the first
official plan for covering the country with
microscopical poor-houses , would have been
frugal in comparison of a second official plan ,
for covering it with microscopical penitentiary
houses . —
More the scale of ten establishments instead
of one , the expence (your Lordship sees)
is about mid way between three times and
four times as much as it need be : — to keep
clear of exaggeration , say but three times : —
waste £2 out of £3 . But , upon this second
official plan , there would be 257 instead of one :
257 such local penitentiary houses , instead of the
one national one prescribed by Parliament :
prescribed by Parliament seriousel seriously , and
afterwards bespoke of me in sport , as fish are hooked , by the late Treasury
and the Duke of Portland . * Two hundred and fifty seven
