90 days

17th Century to late 18th Century

• Death penalty became prevalent as a form of punishment


• Gaols or jails were common. Galleys were also used
• These galleys are long, low, narrow, single decked ships propelled by
sails, usually vowed by criminals.
• Hulks – decrepit transport, former warships used to house prisoners in the
18th and 19th centuries. “The floating hell”, “the hell hole”.
• These were abandoned warships converted into prison as means of
relieving congestions of prisoners.

18TH century is a century of change; it is the period of recognizing human


dignity. It is the movement of reformation, the period of introduction of certain
reforms in the correctional field by a certain person.

THE REFORMATORY MOVEMENT


Further changes and certain reforms in the correctional field were made by the following:

1. Alexander Maconochie – He is the Superintendent of the penal colony at Norfolk Island in


Australia (1840) who introduced the "Mark System". A system in which a prisoner is required
to earn several marks based on proper department, labor, and study to entitle him for a ticket
for leave or conditional release which is similar to parole.

2. Manuel Montesimos – The Director of Prisons in Valencia Spain (1835) who divided the
number of prisoners into companies and appointed certain prisoners as petty officers in
charge, which allowed good behavior to prepare the convict for gradual release.

3. Domets of France – established an agricultural colony for delinquent boys in 1839


providing housefathers as in charge of these boys.

4. Sir Evelyn Ruggles Brise – The Director of the English Prison who opened the Borstal
Institution for young offenders. The Borstal Institution is considered as the best reform
institution for young offenders today.

5. Walter Crofton – He is the Director of the Irish Prison in 1854 who introduced the Irish
system that was modified from the Maconochie’s mark system.

6. Zebulon Brockway – The Director of the Elmira Reformatory in New York (1876) who
introduced certain innovational programs like the following: training school type - compulsory
education of prisoners - casework methods - extensive use of parole - indeterminate
sentence.
