The Rise of the Penitentiary

- Prisons and Punishment in Early America

Bag om The Rise of the Penitentiary

Before the 19th century, American prisons were used to hold people for trial and not to incarcerate them for wrong-doing. After independence, states began to reject such public punishment as whipping and pillorying and turn to imprisonment instead. Hirsch explores the reasons behind this change.
