10 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 10 Prisons  A prison is a state or federal confinement facility that has custodial authority over adults sentenced to confinement.  The use of prisons as a place to serve punishment is a relatively new way to handle offenders.

11 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 11 Early Punishments  Were often cruel and torturous:  Generally fit the doctrine of lex talionis:  Law of retaliation  “An eye for an eye”  What types of punishment were used?

16 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 16 The Mass Prison Era 1825 -- 1876  Auburn Prison (New York) featured group workshops and silence enforced by whipping and hard labor.  This Auburn System was the primary competitor to the Pennsylvania System.

17 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 17 The Reformatory Era 1876 -- 1890  Based on the use of the indeterminate sentence.  Believed in the possibility of rehabilitation, especially for youthful offenders.  Elmira Reformatory attempted reform rather than punishment.  A system of graded stages in educational, behavioral and other goals gave way to the system of “parole.”  Ultimately considered a failure, since recidivism was still a problem.

18 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 18 The Industrial Era 1890 -- 1935  Prisoners used for cheap labor.  Industrial production in the North; agriculture in the South.  Six systems of inmate labor: contract system, piece-price system, lease system, public account system, state-use system, and public works system.  Labor unions complained that they could not compete.  The passage of the Hawes-Cooper Act and Ashurst-Sumners Act limited inmate labor.  Some prison industries exist today.

19 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 19 The Punitive Era 1935 -- 1945  Characterized by belief that prisoners owed a debt to society.  Custody and institutional security the central values.  Few innovations.

20 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 20 The Treatment Era 1945 -- 1967  Medical model suggested inmates were sick and needed treatment.  Most treatments include individual or group therapy.  Other forms of therapy include: Behavior therapy Chemotherapy Neurosurgery Sensory deprivation Aversion therapy

21 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 21 The Community-Based Era 1967 -- 1980  Based on premise that rehabilitation cannot occur in isolation from the real world.  Prisons considered dehumanizing.  Led to innovations in the use of volunteers and the extension of inmate privileges.  Programs include: Half-way houses Work-release Study-release

22 CRIMINAL JUSTICE TODAY, 9E PRENTICE HALL By Frank Schmalleger ©2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 22 The Warehousing Era 1980 -- 1995  Public and judicial disapproval of release programs and recidivism led to longer sentences with fewer releases.  Nothing works doctrine.  Prison overcrowding became widespread.  Greater emphasis on incarcerating non-violent drug offenders.
