Letter II. Plan for a Penitentiary Inspection House.
Of this grating a part sufficiently large opens, in form of a Door
to admit the Prisoner at his first entrance; and to give admission at any
time to the Inspector or any of his attendants.
To cut off from each Prisoner the view of every other, the partitions
are carried on a few feet beyond the grating into the intermediate
area: such projecting parts I call the protracted partitions.
It is conceived, that the light, coming in, in this manner through
the Cells, and so across the intermediate area, will be sufficient for
the Inspector's Lodge. But, for this purpose, both the windows in
the Cells, and those corresponding to them in the Lodge, should be as
large as the strength of the building, and what shall be deemed a necessary
attention to Economy, will permit.
