Excerpt from Report on the Penitentiary System in the United States, 1822 The importance, as well as the intrinsic difficulties of the subject, committed to the research and fidelity of the Committee, have subjected them to formidable embarrassments in every stage of their investigation. A voluntary association of individuals, to ascertain the operation of municipal ordinances and regulations, and to trace out the effects and detect the errors of various systems of criminal law, throughout a country of vast extent, act under restraints not incident to boards of inquiry clothed with public authority, sustained by adequate means, and acting under auspices compatible with the moral importance of the undertaking. But until the legislatures of the different states, and the constituted authorities of the country, encourage and support those regular systems of examination and observance, that are competent to correct and prevent public evils; until they learn to avoid the errors of other governments and other countries, (a) in remaining inactive and indifferent, until awakened to a sense of duty by the loud cries of deep and complicated grievances; we must repose our hopes and rest our confidence, on the philanthropy, the patriotism, and the zeal of individuals.
