ON PRISONS. MR. URBAN, T Sambrook Court, August 20. HE motives which have given rife to the remarks on Prifons, and fimilar Inftitutions, origionated from an ardent defire to remove their abuses, and to promote their improvements. Grateful would be the pleasure to record the latter; and under this fentiment, the County Goal at Chelmsford, and the Bridewell at Halfted, are introduced in the fubfequent letter; where the reader will find much to approve, and lit tle to cenfure. Happy would it be for the community, as well as for the objects of confinement, were eulogy more generally applicable; but fcarcely does the eye furvey this prifon with approbation, when a contraft is prefented, in fome of the bridewells, workhoufes, and houfes of correction, of nakedness, filth, and difeafe. It is truly painful to meet with fuch frequent occafions of recording neglect and mifmanagement, and it may become difgufting to the reader; but abufes that are fraught with danger to individuals, and to the community, imperiously demand animadverfion and cenfure, in order to ftimulate attention, and produce reformation. In reverting to preceding letters, and connecting the following, it is a matter of furprize that infectious fevers are not more generally extended. The e numbers of poor objects crowded into one apartment, almoft without light, and, ftill more deftru&tive, without air, of change of raiment, 1804. are fufficient to generate peftilen tial fevers in every town expofed to thefe prolific fources of contagion, and which endanger the fafety of every individual. To extend and rivet the mifchief, water, a most important article of prevention, is denied, and every fpecies of uncleanliness tolerated. To augment the miferable fcenery, immorality is fuper-added; where divine fervice is neglected, or totally excluded. Alas! what a picture of human infelicity and depravity do thefe letters pourtray! Do any animals, or collection of brutes, afford fuch a complication of wretchedness ? How many fellow-creatures commonly die in this Empire by infectious fevers is not ascertained; but, from the returns in London, the aggregate may be eftimated at 40,000; for, in this Metropolis, my refpectable friend Thomas Bernard, efq. whofe caution and accuracy no perfon will doubt, calculates the number of victims at 3000 each year. In contemplating this deplorable mortality, fo eafily to be leffened, or prevented; the mind feels fome gratification in reflecting upon the philanthropy of feveral individuals, who have affociated together, for the purpofe of preventing contagion, by establishing an Houfe of Recovery for the reception of infected perfons; whilft their habitations, containing the feeds of dif eafe, are purified. This has produced the moft falutary effects in Chefter, where the plan was first fuggefted, by my refpectable and highly-valued friend, Dr. HAYGARTH A Kindred friend I have We could have wished that this house had been more infulated.
