condemned to penal-labour for at most one year. The cells should be divided among the couuty- prisons, according to the supposed medium of delinquents for each county, taken from the criminal- tables of the Minister of Justice. The following may be taken as a guide in making this calculation.
It is probable that about 4000 persons are annually condemned to simple prison-punishment, (which it appears ought to be limited to one kind, namely solitary) either immediately as punishment, or instead of unpaid fines. Supposing that each one was confined a month, a necessity arises, should the circulation be equal throughout the year, of 334 middling-cells. As, however, the removals will be very irregular, this amount ought perhaps to. be raised to 480, or
a medium for each county of . . . . . . 20 cells.
For penal-labour . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 —-
For those condemned to bread and water 4 —
or 66 cells.
There ought to be also, for the transport prisoners, small-cells, which are calculated for each county-jail at a medium of 12.
Plate III represents the plan of a County-jail with an accompanying description and estimate of the expense. The remaining 1076 cells should be divided among three houses of correction, containing each 359 cells, or that number which is generally considered applicable for a central penitentiary-establishment.
