Passage 1: The Evolution of Prison Systems
The concept of imprisonment has undergone significant changes throughout history. In ancient times, prisons were primarily used for detention before punishment rather than rehabilitation. However, modern prison systems have evolved to incorporate various approaches to criminal justice. The penal reform movement of the 19th century marked a turning point, introducing the idea that prisons should focus on reforming offenders rather than merely punishing them.
