Diet and cost of feeding powerloom workers compared to felons
In this 1841 letter the author contrasts the weekly food costs for a family of eight under a modest diet with the far higher expenditure for felons. He cites a Preston loom weaver with wife and children consuming barely pennies per day, while felons’ diets would cost far more, urging moral and political redress and pledging further case details from Westminster.
