Question

The unit discusses the history of corrections, describing how corrections evolved and changed over time. What model described in this lesson most closely lines up with what Pacholke is attempting to do in prisons? Explain.

Answer 1

Pacholke's attempts in prison reform align with the transformative model of penitentiaries aimed at rehabilitating inmates into law-abiding citizens, focusing on treating underlying social issues rather than punishment alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The model that most closely aligns with what Pacholke is attempting to do in prisons relates to the transformational approach found in the creation of penitentiaries. These institutions aimed to reform criminals into law-abiding citizens through a process involving hard work, religious instruction, and isolation from corrupting social vices. This contrasts sharply with the historical punitive measures such as public whippings or executions that were intended purely as punishment rather than as opportunities for rehabilitation.

Answer 2

Adaptation to the Prison

Step-by-step explanation:

• Conditions in prisons can be harsh and challenging for many inmates, and therefore some form of subculture in prison often develops from these conditions.
• This model suggests that inmates are trying to adapt to the physical and social deprivation of the prison through collective efforts, and as a result the prison sub-culture develops.
• the deprivation model is described, which is similar to the persistent efforts or efforts of Pachholke in prison. Pacholke made efforts to improve the lives of inmates by helping them adjust to prison life.
