No1 Page 11. "The due employment of the prisoners according to
"law in such work as they have been accustomed to, and for
"which they are most fit, has been discontinued; and since that
"period there has been a gradual decline of industry, order, discipline,
and subordination in the prison."
No2 P.12. "The only work in which it is pretended to employ
"the prisoners is that of picking oakum. . . . . at a maximum
"of three pence a day in earnings." [
]
No3 P.27-"Supposing the prisoners to work fairly
", and not to secrete, as has frequently been done, a
"great part of the materials, rather than be at the trouble of
"picking them."[ much would be by the prisoners ?]
No 4 P.13. "A new system of feeding the prisoners without the
"prison, by their relations and friends, was most unfortunately introduced."
No5 P.15. "The peace and quiet of the prison is utterly destroyed
"by the perpetual visits of the prisoners' friends with victuals:
"The friends without are frequently distressed, in order to furnish
"the prisoners with food, and are driven to evil practices to
"procure the supply."
No6. P.35. "The ostensible idea was that it would save a considerable
"sum to the Country; I have no reason to believe that it

"as if nothing were brought to him; and is glad to make himself
"friends among his fellow-prisoners, by distributing what he
"does not want for himself."

"to night, without allowing them leisure for any other employment."
No8. P.26. "If the undertaking were not unsuitable to my character,
"and habits of life (says the worthy Mayor), I would not hesitate to contract for
"the profits of the prisoners' labour, (if they were allowed to work
"in their respective callings, and in such other labour as is
"proper for prisoners,) and to pay the County £400 per
"annum.
