This is my classes post The Auburn and Penn systems are both based on the belief that crime is learned and encouraged by other criminals.The Pennsylvania prison system is different from the Auburn system; The Pennsylvania prison system has required that inmates be kept segregated at all times. In the Auburn system, inmates can eat and work together, but they are not allowed to talk during that work.Both Auburn and Pennsylvania address rehabilitation through employment, but in different ways: EpisodeAuburn Sentencing SystemThis system allows for greater interaction and communication between inmates, as well as providing ample gathering space for work and meals during the day. The inmates also worked together in an educational program. However, prisoners are isolated in their cells at night and must remain awake at all times under punishment. Other laws, such as the lockstep law, are also designed to keep things quiet. Auburn prison officials believe that silence and hard work are effective and humane methods of discipline, but these methods are also accompanied by corporal punishment. ChapterPennsylvania Prison SystemThe system is more isolated; prisoners are isolated almost 24 hours a day. The system also maintains silence; Prisoners are not always allowed to talk. Pennsylvania's system is based on the idea that inmates can use this time to reflect and recuperate, with the goal of turning them into upstanding citizens. If I was correctional officer my choice of system that I will prefer to work would be the Pennsylvania prison system even though by being a stressful job just the piece of silence and it sounds like it turns or try to turning people into good citizens it seems more of a rehabilitation.The other one Since the beginning of time, crime has always existed in our world. At first, we did not have much understanding of crime, and what punishments were appropriate at the time of the offense. The United States were starting to go against the harsh and corporal punishments that they inflicted on criminals during that time. So they opened up the first jail in 1790, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, called the Walnut Street Jail. The Auburn jail opened up in 1816, following the opening of the first jail. This system was different because this prison focused more on rehabilitation of the inmates versus just harsh punishment. The Walnut street jail did not allow inmates to interact with each other, they were told to do penance and also read their bibles inside their cells. The inmates were also allowed to exercise during the day while going out to the recreation yard. The Auburn system, on the other hand did use some of the ideas from Pennsylvania, although they did agree that inmates should be in different cells, they did not think that isolation was the best method, So they decided to make an area where inmates could meet, sit, eat and congregate.Although both systems had its own positive impacts on the prison systems we use today, Auburn's way is the most seen today. I believe the Auburn system is the most successful in reform of the inmates' behaviors. Through the implementation of the separate nights, production of goods and or services, skills and more these strategies are still used. Rehabilitation was always at the backbone of the Auburn prison systems, which I do think should be the goal if possible for the inmates.If I was a correctional officer, I would want to work in the Auburn prison systems. I would want to work there because it's safer and it's more structured while still giving the inmates some freedoms. I agree that no human being should have to be locked away for 24 hours a day, unless they are a danger to everyone. I like the structure because this system has certain hours that the inmates can do these activities or to congregate. This would be ideal for me because I like having a routine and I think it's important to give them something to do that's productive to them as a person. That way they can hopefully obtain their freedom again.
