.^ The penitentiary scheme proposed by Howard was not, however, abandoned.
It was revised and kept alive by
Jeremy Bentham in
his fanatical scheme for a "panopticon or inspection house,"
described as "a circular building, an
iron cage glazed, a
glass lantern as large as
Ranelagh, with the cells on the outer
circumference." His plan was to keep every inmate of every
cell under constant close
observation, and all were to be reformed by solitude and seclusion
while constantly employed in remunerative labour, in the profits of
which they were to share.
.^ The scheme hung fire, owing, it was alleged, to the personal hostility of George III .
to
.^ Bentham as an advanced radical.
Lands were, however,
purchased which were eventually taken over by the government and
utilized for the erection of Millbank penitentiary, begun in 1813
and partially completed in 1816. It was now fully recognized that
the
reformation of prisoners could best be attempted by seclusion,
"employment and religious instruction." Millbank, as a new and most
enlightened undertaking in prison affairs, was opened with much
eclat.
.^ It was to be governed by a specially appointed committee of distinguished personages, the chairman being the Speaker of the House of Commons.
^ Jeff Piccola, Republican chairman of the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee.
.^ The sum total expended upon the buildings amounted to half a million of money, and the yearly charges of the establishment were a heavy burden on the exchequer .

^ The end goal is to be as comfortable as possible and finding the perfect cell mates is a step in the right direction.
.^ The energy with which it was undertaken was the more remarkable because elsewhere throughout the United Kingdom the prisons, with few exceptions, remained deplorably bad.

^ The system now introduced consisted of three principal parts: (1) of a limited period of separate confinement in a home prison or penitentiary, accompanied by industrial employment and moral training; (2) of hard labour at some public works prison either at home or abroad; and (3) of exile to a colony with a conditional pardon or ticket-of-leave .
^ This industry was to be measured by marks earned by hard labour at the public works, after a short probational term of close "separate" confinement.
.^ No pains were spared to give effect to this plan.

It became necessary therefore to find some
other means for their disposal. Accordingly, in 1853 the first
Penal Servitude Act was passed, substituting certain shorter
sentences of penal servitude for transportation.
.^ It was only just to abbreviate the terms; under the old sentence the transportee knew that if well conducted he would spend the greater part of it in comparative freedom.

A new committee sat in 1863, and in its report again
remarked in no measured terms upon the many and wide differences
that still existed in the gaols of Great
Britain as regards
construction, diet, labour and general discipline, "leading to an
inequality, uncertainty and inefficiency of punishment productive
of the most prejudicial results." Matters could only be mended by
the exercise of legislative authority, and this came in the Prison
Act of 1865, an act which consolidated all previous statutes on the
subject of prison discipline, many of its provisions being still in
force.

Penal servitude, to use
the words of the
lord chief justice Sir Alexander
Cockburn, one of the members of the committee, "was hardly
calculated to produce on the mind of the criminal that salutary
dread of the recurrence of the punishment which may be the means of
deterring him and, through his example, others from the commission
of crime." The chief recommendation put forward to mend the system
comprised lengthening of all sentences, a diminution in the
dietaries, the abolition of large gratuities, and, speaking
broadly, a general tightening of the reins. The most notable change
however was in regard to labour, the quantity and value of which
was to be regulated in future by the so-called "
mark-system." This plan
had originated with Captain Maconochie, at one time
superintendent in
Norfolk
Island, who had recommended that the punishment inflicted upon
criminals should be measured, not by time, but by the amount of
labour actually performed.
.^ In support of his theory he devised an ingenious system of recording the convicts' daily industry by marks, which on reaching a given total would entitle them to their release.
^ No doubt the problem has been in a measure solved in England by that useful incentive to industry, the mark system.
^ These results are no doubt greatly aided by the judicious stimulus given to the highest effort of the mark system.
.^ This mark system had already been tried with good results in Ireland , where the Irish system, as it was called, introduced by Sir Walter Crofton, had attracted widespread attention.
^ The most notable change however was in regard to labour, the quantity and value of which was to be regulated in future by the so-called " mark-system ."
^ The mark system, as recommended by the committee of 1863 and as subsequently introduced, had however little in common with either Maconochie's or the Irish plan.
.^ There had been a very marked diminution in crime, attributable it was supposed to this system, which was in almost all respects the same as the English, although the Irish authorities had invented an "intermediate stage" in which convicts worked in a state of semi-freedom and thus practised the self-reliance which in many produced reform.
^ But we owe something to the Irish practice which first popularized the idea of maintaining a strict supervision over convicts in a state of conditional release, and it reconciled us to a system which was long wrongfully stigmatized as espionage.

.^ It was similar in principle and that was all.
According to the committee,
every convict should have it in his power to
earn a remission - in other words, to shorten his
sentence by his industry.
.^ This industry was to be measured by marks earned by hard labour at the public works, after a short probational term of close "separate" confinement.
^ It has been said by a trustworthy authority,' "We are convinced also that severe labour on public works is most beneficial in teaching criminals habits of industry and training them to such employments as digging, road-making and brick-making - work of a kind which cannot be carried on in separate confinement."
^ A sentence of penal servitude as now administered consists of three distinct periods or stages: (I) that of probation endured in separate confinement at a so-called "close" prison; (2) a period of labour in association at a public works prison; and (3) conditional release for the unexpired portion of the sentence upon licence or ticket-of-leave.
But the remission
gained did not mean absolute release.
.^ All males were to be sent, during the latter part of their sentence, "without disguise to a thinly peopled colony," to work out their time and their own rehabilitation.

.^ The one outlet remaining, however, that of Western Australia , was soon afterwards (1867) closed to convict emigrants; and this part of the committee's recommendations became a dead letter.
^ Although Earl Grey addressed a circular letter t3 all colonial governments offering them the questionable boon c c transportation, only one, the comparatively new colony of Western Australia , accepted.

.^ This period of almost unbroken solitude is of a painful character, and its duration has therefore been wisely limited.
