times, follow an appointed route and certain leading directions, which have as a centre that prison to which the criminals of the county are to be sent. In this way all the prisoners that are to be taken in the same direction, might meet at certain places of rendezvous, and be forward on their way under a common guard. The returning conductors should, on their way back, take up and forward to the county prison those individuals, who should there serve out the period of confinement to which they have been sentenced. By this means may be gained both security and economy.
In England a separate kind of carriage has already been used for some years for the conveyance of the prisoners. Such a carriage is divided into twelve separate cells, by which means both escape and all communication between the prisoners are prevented. In France also this idea has been adopted, and after two years’ experience approved of. In our country these large carriages will meet with many difficulties, on account of the high hills and the heavy roads which we generally have in autumn and spring; but a trial ought nevertheless to be made of the model designed by Captain Modé (stationed at Långholmen), which is both less and lighter than the foreign carriages, and calculated only for 8 cells, with a driver and keeper.
