Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Reminiscences of the Ohio Penitentiary: From Its Erection in 1835 to the Present Time Who can listen to a story of crime and not become interested? Who has ever visited the Ohio Penitentiary that can not, while relating the sights and the movements of the great body of prisoners marching through the prison grounds or working in the shops, fill the listener with awe and interest? Who has never had a desire to visit the great penal institution of the state of Ohio? Only a few ever obtain that privilege, owing to one prevention or another, and it is those who have not the opportunity that are most interested, and to give such persons an idea of its workings, I tender this brief but carefully and accurately compiled work, feeling that those who may read its pages will be fully satisfied with my effort. The task of writing this work was no light one, as the records of the prison, until within a few years past, are very incomplete, and in order to have all dates and happenings correct it required extra time and labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the state of Ohio, before 1884, most first-time offenders between the ages of 16 and 30 were housed in the Ohio Penitentiary, where they were likely to be influenced by hardened criminals. That changed when the Ohio Legislature approved the building of a reformatory, a new type of institution that would educate and train young, first-time offenders. Construction was halted three times due to lack of funding, but on September 17, 1896, the first 150 inmates were transferred to the new facility. Over the years, the reformatory expanded its training programs and became a self-sustaining institution'the largest of its kind in the United States. By 1970, the reformatory had become a maximum-security prison with a death row but no death chamber. It closed on December 31, 1990, but preservation and restoration efforts are ongoing. The reformatory has appeared in numerous television shows and feature films, including The Shawshank Redemption.

Download or read book The Failure of Prison Reform written by Jessica Dyan Britton and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the history of reform within the Ohio Penitentiary between 1834 and 1885 as a microcosm of national changes to the penal system. Its conceptual framework occupies the middle ground between two great philosophers, Michel Foucault and Norbert Elias, who have examined opposing sides of society - power and sensibilities - as primary motivators of change. Structures of modern punishment coexisted between the desire for more humane treatment of prisoners and a demand for control, making it necessary to examine both administrator records and prisoner testimonials in opposition, in order to discover if reform truly occurred. Within Ohio, substantial "progressive" change to the penal system failed because the dichotomy between power and sensibilities could not be reconciled among official voices. What resulted, then, was a system that adamantly defined progress as order. And, to avoid offending public sensibilities, it obscured the brutality necessary to achieve this end.
