The Mass Prison Era (1 Jan 1825 Jahr – 1 Jan 1876 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Prisons during this time were modeled after Pennsylvania's penitentiaries. However, the first prison to abandon this model was the New York State Prison at Auburn. In this prison, inmates lived, ate, and worked together in enforced silence. The "Auburn System" featured group workshops rather than solitary handicrafts and reintroduced corporal punishments into the handling of offenders. Auburn depended on whipping and hard labor to maintain the rule of silence.
