The BRUTAL Victorian Separate Prison System

When we think of Victorian prisons, we think of brutal conditions and horrific disease and overcrowding. It was during this time in England where thousands of prisoners were being transported to countries such as Australia. However the prison system was seen as not being harsh enough and was deemed ineffective, so because of this the separate system was created. This was a prison that kept prisoners inside in complete solitary confinement and they were not allowed to communicate with others and even the guards.

Prisoners in the separate prison were forced to go to chapel each day, and they were locked in small wooden boxes to maintain their isolation. It was very tough, and there were accounts of prisoners struggling to cope. The Separate prison system was the tough system that Britain needed, and the prisoners were forced to wear caps that hid their faces and identity. What is shocking is that despite discipline being brutal, it was what the people demanded was needed. Along with brutal regimes such as this and also the executions of criminals, the hope was that criminals would be put off offending again.

This system would work very well today if used for juvenile offenders who could see how important it was to avoid getting into this situation. This might be the only thing that saves America from the crime epidemic occurring here today.
