The system of separate confinement adopt ed in the new Penetentiary of Philadelphia, some particulars of which have been publish ed ill this paper year since, appears thus far, to have answered every purpose expected from it. So far fromits being considered by the inmates system of cruelty, one of them, whose term ofimprisonment is about expir- ing, has made application not to be set at li- berty until next spring; and the effect on another, whose term has expired, is believed to be an entire reformation. The Physi- clan of the institution, Dr. Franklin Bache, states that the convicts enjoy their health, are comfortable, and is perfectly satisfied that the entire seclusion of criminals from all association with their fellow criminals, is al together compatible with their profitable em- ployment at useful trades, and with the pre- servation of their health. The system is yet an experiment; but should it succeed, as these facts induce the belief that it will, it will be the means, most probably, of effecting ge- neral reform in Penitentiary punishment.
