Excerpt from Our Convict Systems
The English Convict System is probably - but for the obscurity in which it is purposely involved, I might say, certainly - a failure, though the convicts cost ?35 a head per annum.
The Irish Convict System is proved to be a complete success, though the convicts cost only ?24 6s. a head per annum.
This statement is my apology for writing the following pamphlet.
