The federal correctional system, although predominantly a 20th century creation, has its roots, in other words, in the 18th and 19th centuries. The so-called Three Prison Act, which was passed in 1891, began the process of creating the federal prison system by identifying three sites around the country for first penitentiaries. Development, however, was slow, and 6 years passed before ground breaking began on the first of the penitentiaries, U.S. Penitentiary Leavenworth. It took inmates 25 years to build Leavenworth Penitentiary. They lived in an old military fort, an appropriated by the federal government, while they were engaged in the construction of a modern building, designed to hold 1,200 men.

Historical Development of Nursing Timeline Tiffany C. Dovgan NUR/513 October 15, 2012 Dolores Diehl Historical Development of Nursing Timeline The discipline or practice of nursing has developed over time and many nursing theorists contributed to the professional practice as we know it today. Nursing theories provide structure to the critical thinking and decision- making processes. Theory, research and applications to clinical practice are symbiotic as new concepts, practices and empirical data emerge professional practice changes or evolves. Florence Nightingale’s writings originating in 1859 are considered the first nursing theories postulated. She is known for decreasing mortality rates in hospitals during the Crimean War (George, 2011).

Norwich Insane Asylum Recent archaeological evidence from digs at the site of the abandoned Norwich State Hospital indicate that it was the site of a Native American village about 5,000 years ago. According to State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni, about 8,800 artifacts have been uncovered so far, which suggest a “unique village setting for the time.” The original asylum, dubbed the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane, was established in 1904. The site comprised two two-story buildings, one for women and one, known as Salmon Hall, for male patients. A cottage on the grounds was erected for doctors. Forty patients transferred from Middletown brought the total number of patients up to fifty one, with space enough to accommodate 104.

Attracted by the new science of bacteriology, he was sent by the army to study with William Henry Welch at Johns Hopkins University, and was later appointed professor of bacteriology in the Army Medical School in Washington, DC in 1893. He chaired the U.S. Army typhoid fever commission of 1899, in which he, Victor C. Vaughan, and Edward O. Shakespeare established the importance of the asymptomatic typhoid carrier.

The Emancipation Proclamation The Emancipation Proclamation began on January 17, 1863 and the purpose of it was to determine which states were rebellions. The emancipation also was criticized because of the legal document, which applied in most of the southern states but not in Tennesse. The voters in west Tennesse voted in but the middle and east Tennesse were against the whole idea. Tennesse was one of the states that was asked to come up with a troop to put the rebellion down. Alexander P. Stewart was from east, Tennesse graduating from West Point in 1842.
Thomas Jennings 1791-1856 Thomas Jennings, born in 1791, was the first African American to be given a patent, on March 3, 1821. Thomas Jennings was awarded his patent for a dry cleaning process (U.S. patent 3306x). At the time, he was operating a dry cleaning business in New York City, and was heavily involved in abolitionist activities. The patent was for a dry-cleaning process called "dry scouring", and he used the initial money he earned from it to purchase freedom from slavery for his family. In 1831, Thomas Jennings became assistant secretary for the First Annual Convention of the People of Color in Philadelphia, PA. Thomas Jennings was a free man when he took out his patent, otherwise he might have had trouble obtaining the patent in his name.
