] OF ELIZABETH FRY. 167 II. A subdivision of each sex into classes. First, the sick ; secondly, the aged and infirm ; thirdly, the children ; and fourthly, those who are confined for idleness or small offences ; the latter description to be allowed no intercourse with the other inmates, not to have the same comforts and indulgences, as this class of persons being admitted for vagrancy or crime has a great tendency to degrade the character of the institution, in the eyes of the honest and praise...worthy poor, who are admitted here for causes for which they are in no way blameable, and to render the most deserving objects in necessity, unwilling to avail them- selves of the benefits of the charity. A woman having become pregnant in'the prison, was afterwards, on her discharge, sent on this account, as a punishment, to the hospital, and as she tried to escape from this new imprisonment, she was compelled to wear a chain and a heavy log by night and by day for several weeks. No instance can more forcibly prove the absolute necessity of improvement in both establishments.
