The report details the original plan of
the Dublin Female Penitentiary, stating foremost that it is to be open to females
of all persuasion. It goes on to state that it is a necessity to build another
asylum for "the reception of unfortunate females plunged in sin, but from
conviction, willing to quit the paths of vice, and to whom might be afforded
the means of earning a subsistence by honest industry, together with the most
probable mode of being again restored the useful members, and not the pests, of
their respective stations in society." The
report underlines the inception of a fund, to raise money for the penitentiary's
growth and quality of life.
