to these belong all that can promote true religion,
general enlightenment, domestic activity and greater
prosperity.
b) Those which regard the punishment of the
crime already committed, and the possible
improvement of the criminal; among these may be
reckoned criminal legislation and the penitentiary system.
As the object of this treatise is properly to
consider the latter, which stands in such inseparable
connection with the definitions of punishment in
the new project, that these neither can nor ought
to be applied before our institutions for
punishment have been brought into a state more suitable
for the purpose intended, I pass over to the
penitentiary system itself, which has of late years made
great progress, both in the free states of America
and in several European countries. This
advancement will require some changes in the
prescriptions of the new law-project, with regard as well
to the time of imprisonment for certain degrees of
penal-labour, as to the treatment of the prisoners;
these changes will, however, be easily accomplished.
