The Rise of the Penitentiary: Prisons and Punishment in Early America - Yale Historical Publications Series First edition
Adam J. Hirsch
Before the 19th century, American prisons were used to hold people for trial and not to incarcerate them for wrong-doing. After independence, states began to reject such public punishment as whipping and pillorying and turn to imprisonment instead. Hirsch explores the reasons behind this change.
