On the credit side of the printed account, I found an item of receipts for " productive labour," amounting during the quarter to £1 8s. 6d. ; less than 3d. per prisoner per quarter, a sum too small to find the representative of a week's labour in any denomination of the coin of the realm. Mr. Field, the zealous chaplain of Reading Gaol, in his n 11 printed report laid before the Houses of Parliament, frankly says that ** short imprisonments are inimical to any material moral amendment, and quit...e inadequate to deter from crime, either under the Separate or any other system of prison dis- cipline." The Parliamentary returns show that the number of con- victions and imprisonments for crime in England and Wales amounts to about 100,000 in the year, out of which more than three-fourths are for short terms, ranging from ten days to three months ; so that, in the vast majority of cases under the present system of criminal jurisprudence, it is admitted by its most intelligent and able advocate, the Separate System, as a reformatory or deterring agent, entirely fails of success.
