Reason - Incarcerated as punishment and rigid prison regulations made prisoners unable to become good citizens
- All prisoners were crowded together, no matter how severe their offense
Goal - Focuses on ensuring rehabilitation over punishment and implementing reinstatement for the criminals
Attempt - The suicide of many men (due to lack of sanity) resulted in the change of solitary confinement to reverting back to the strict disciplinary system
- While the Auburn system spread, it paved the way for reformers wanting to add more change (prison libraries, reduction of whipping and beating, etc)
- After the Civil War however, the Prison Reform was not given top priority, for reconstruction of the nation was now the first concern
