order to continue the solitary principle undisturbed,
separate cells are arranged for the reception of
the sick, who are attended to by keepers appointed
for that purpose.
All corporal punishments are banished from
the prison. The delinquents are corrected by
decreasing the prison allowance, dark cells, and the
loss of permission to work.
The leading features of the inward
arrangements and discipline having thus been drawn, it
remains to compare the efficacy of the two systems,
as institutions for punishment and improvement,
from the following points of view, viz:
a) Their powers of punishment, for the just
chastizement of the criminal, and useful warning
to others.
b) Their influence on the moral improvement
and health of the prisoner.
c) Possibility of continuing the proper
observance of the order prescribed.
d) The expense of the prisoners’ dwelling,
support and guarding.
e) Whether the system promotes or hinders the
possibility of a compensation, by means of the
prisoners’ labour, either for the whole or at least a
part of the expenses of the state.
f) The effects of the system on the future
prospects in society of those liberated.
