Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compares the pros and cons of prison reform in the 19th century, with a focus on the "Auburn system" and the "Pennsylvania system". The author presents statistical evidence in support of the Pennsylvania system, particularly in its benefits for the physical and mental health of prisoners. The author then refutes common arguments made against solitary confinement as proposed under the Pennsylvania system. Despite positive results and reduced recidivism rates, the author acknowledges that neither the Pennsylvania nor the Auburn system was implemented with complete fidelity to its ideals, which has led to the perpetuation of myths regarding the effectiveness of solitary confinement. Overall, this book provides important historical insights into the debate over prison reform, highlighting the complexities of evaluating correctional systems based on statistical data and the significance of considering the overall well-being of prisoners.
