§.7.17 + 53
Rate IV. Sir George Paul and the Revd Mr Becher's
Rate, as per Estimate - - - - - - - £251:125: 0s : 0d.
Grounds of this Estimate
1. In his Evidence, delivered to the aforesaid Penitentiary
Committee " I need not hesitate to say " (says Sir George Paul + ) that
+ Penitentiary Committee Report - 31. May 1811. Appendix, p.46.
"the labour of Penitentiary prisoners, taken exclusively, will exceed
"the cost of their clothing and maintenance, and will probably
"supply some part of the expence of the Establishment."
2. Supposing it to supply the whole of that expence, then
the £12,000 a year in question, would to me have been the whole
of it net profit, as above.
3. Remains to be estimated the expence of an Establishment.
This estimate, Mr Becher above mentioned has in his Evidence
made for me. I say for me: since it is with express reference to
the intended Panopticon establishment (the establishment here
in question) that it is declaredly made.
4. After having spoken of it for some length, by the
description of "the Contract with Mr Bentham" to evince "(continues
he)" that such an agreement does not promise any pecuniary
"advantages to Government" - Suppose the Governor, Chaplain,
"and Surgeon of the Penitentiary to receive the same salaries as at
"Newgate, and allowing for a Secretary with a suitable number
"of Turnkeys and Taskmasters, the yearly expence of such an
"establishment, apportioned among 1000 prisoners, will be only
£1 " 15 " 0" " Besides this (he adds) it is manifest that Penitentiary
Convicts, under judicious regulations, can scarcely fail to earn
proportionately more than can be derived from the employment
of those who are subjected to short periods of imprisonment.
