Answer:

Thinkers believed that reforming prison life was exactly what a new nation should do.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fair Punishment debate in the eighteenth century was brought up as a result of the capital punishments at the time which included beheading, solitary confinement, imprisonment, etc.

However, some thinkers believed that imprisonment did not reform prisoners and believed it should be a priority for the new government to make sure that prison is a place for reform.
