The Punitive Era (1935-1945) (jan 1, 1935 – jan 1, 1945)

Description:

Philosophy: Retribution

The Punitive Era was characterized by the belief that prisoners owed a debt to society that only a rigorous period of confinement could replay. Large maximum-security institutions flourished, and the prisoner’s daily routine became one of monotony and frustration. Alcatraz Island was one example of a Punitive Era prison.
