The 200 large-cells necessary for the four northern counties and for Gothland (see page 118) are included in the 1584- middling-cells calculated for the county-jails. Here, consequently, is considered only the difference in expense, arising from their greater dimensions, taken by way of proposal at 50 R:dr B:co each; consequently — 10,000 R:dr B:co (about 830 £).
The prisons for confinement before trial are taken at a round sum of 540,000 R:dr B:co (45,000 £).
The separate prisons, supported by the towns and of which there are no accounts, are not included in this calculation. As it is, however, reasonable, that the towns should enjoy the same advantages as are afforded to the counties, an examination ought to be made in this respect, in order to find out the number of cells necessary. By way of proposal 250,000 R:dr B:co are taken, which, with the observance of economy in the building, ought to be sufficient.
The expense of applying the penitentiary-system in all the Swedish prisons would then be 2,777,820 R:dr B:co (about 231,485 £).
