The original role for prisons was just to hold criminals and no regard was given for an inmate’s well-being. These prisons were often overcrowded and dirty (2011). The welfare of the inmates did not seem to matter. As Roth states in the text “Contrary to existing penal protocol, Rush envisioned a prison system in which convicts were housed in a large building equipped with single cells to segregate the more dangerous and disruptive prisoners. All others were lodged in apartments” (2011, p. 89).

History of the Correctional Reform Introduction The correction institutions which include jails, prisons, and community correctional facilities have evolved through various phases in their history. These phases are products of their times and take place as technology and rights groups lobby for prison improvement. It should be noted that prison reform in the United States, dates back in the 18th century and was mostly organized by religious groups and other organizations like the Quaker who were against the harsh treatment that was being practiced in the Americans prison (Pollock, 1997). After getting information and knowledge from England who were against capital punishment for murder and other crimes, they sought to reform the prisons. The Pennsylvania prison society is said to be the first prison to be formed to respond to the conditions that were in oppressive and this led to walnut street jail in Philadelphia being built (Roth, 2011).
Something had to be done to prevent the increase in crime. Sir Robert Peel finally got his way when he convinced Parliament to create the London Metropolitan Police in 1829 (Walker & Katz, 2011). This formation was the beginning of the first organized police system. American style of policing used the same model and that model is based on three core elements. The three core elements are the mission, strategy, and organizational structure of police.

Issue(s); Is it the state's responsibility to provide law libraries and/or legal assistance to prisoners to prepare their cases? Is this a Federal Constitutional issue and/or a state issue?
Prisons have been utilized as a means to punish individuals for crimes committed since 1790 in the United States. The philosophy behind how punishment should be administered to inmates has flip-flopped back and forth from the harsher forms of retribution to the milder forms of rehabilitation. Prisons have experienced a booming population, worker exploitation, and medical reform for the inmates. Prisons serve a well needed part of the criminal justice system, yet they are the least thought of part of the criminal justice system. References Banks, C. 2005.
