Letter 3d
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 . * * Mr Secretary Long to Mr Bentham — Copy - "Treasury Chambers 25 March 1800 . "Sir "Having laid before the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's "Treasury a letter from the Duke of Portland, relative to the number "of Convicts which the Panopticon proposed to be erected by you is "intended to accommodate , I have received their Lordships commands to "acquaint you that the proposed building of a Panopticon is to be calculated "to accommodate Two Thousand persons . I am &c . This was in answer to a letter of mime mine , written more than 7 months before : viz: n the 17th of August 1799 : asking of Mr Long the number I was to build for , for the therein declared purpose of my making preparations accordingly .
