Mass Prison Era (jan 1, 1825 – jan 1, 1876)
Description:
Solitary confinement became expensive so prisons abandoned the Pennsylvania model. They introduced the silent system, where inmates lived, ate, and work together in enforced silence. This was known as the Auburn system. - Criminal Justice Today: An Introductory Text for the 21st CenturyAdded to timeline:
