should be constructed under the same Roof but divided into two distinct

parts one for Males and the other for Females, in Conformity to the aforesaid

Resolutions of the Court; This Building to be detached and placed at a proper

The Reformation of the Prisoners so far as this may be effected

by every possible mode of Restraint and Separation and also by a Provision of
<

</

the means of attending on Divine Service challenged the Consideration of the
<

</

Committee as an Essential part of the Plan. To this End A Chapel is provided

agreeably to the Order of the Court But Whereas the Plan No. 1. proposes that
<

</

the Prisoners should at the time of Divine Worship be in a state of Confinement
<
lb

</

by means of an ingenious Contrivance for that purpose the Committee did not think
<
lb

</
lb

it expedient to adopt this Measure; being desirous of affording to the Prisoners
<
lb

</
lb

every Encouragement consistent with the general safety of the Prison to attent to
<
lb

</

those Duties the habitual Neglect whereof was probably the Principal Cause of
<

</

their being reduced to their present unhappy situation. It was however
<
lb

</
lb

Resolved that every Class should be separately disposed in the Chapel, and
<

</

that there should be an Iron Grating between them, with Benches only and no
