Mr Bentham's
Penitentiary
plan
In respect to the provision a future demands
for increase of room, Mr Benthams plan makes
a provision peculiar to itself. Under the original
Penitentiary plan, no rooms had the original pair
of Houses been filled, but another pair or more likely two would
have been to have been built: for those Houses
were to hold together between them but 900: and more than
2000 Convicts at a time have frequently been on board
the Hulks: +

number reckoned upon by the Act planners of that

no returns have been made. At present therefore
had the New South original Penitentiary plan
taken place of the N.S. Wales plan and the
Hulk plan together, there woul Penitentiary House
Room would have been to have been provided
for 5000 5100 at least viz: 5 pai (5½ pair of Houses)

and thus notwithstanding the mortalities that have
raged taken place as well under the New South Wales
plan as under the Hulk plan and which probab
probably would not have taken place in equal degree under the
Penitentiary plan.
On Mr Bentham's plan £18 a head is
all that the public will have to pay on the
score of building, for whatever augmentation
may take place, and thus whether the surplus
to be provided for be small or great: On the original on his plan
