Have a little read: ... Ellen Jones How might we best explain the rise of the prison? as a replacement for other punishments? This essay aims to account for the rise of the prison as a replacement for other types of punishment during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. First explaining what the 'other punishments' were and the practical and ideological reasons that led to their decline. For example how public opinion turned against capital punishment feeling it was ineffective and worrying about rising crime, or the difficulties that hampered the transportation system. It will then look at how these problems stimulated interest in prisons as an alternative to other punishments. What the functions and conditions of the unreformed prison were, how this stimulated debate and the groups who championed for prison reform. As Hay tells us, in the first chapter of Albion's Fatal Tree, the law had three main elements: majesty, mercy and justice.
