The Stanford prison experiment was a study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. It took place from 14th August 1971 to 20th August 1971, in Stanford University. It took place in a mock prison situated in the basement of the Stanford psychology building Professor Phillip Zimbardo and a team of researchers- who studied at Stanford University -led the experiment. Professor Zimbardo and his team had a purpose of understanding the development in the attitudes of the prisoners and guards, and the effects of roles, labels and social expectations in a simulated prison environment. The experiment was funded by a government grant from the U.s Office of Naval Research to study antisocial behaviour.

These early prisons were designed to hold inmates in large open rooms, which made it difficult to keep control of the inmates. The prisons faced uprisings and attempted escapes. Concern for public safety was the main reason these prisons were closed. The new prisons designers were to ensure separation of inmates and offer reformation opportunities. Auburn state prison and Eastern penitentiary were built.
Psychologist Diana Baumrind considered the experiment "harmful because it may cause permanent psychological damage and cause people to be less trusting in the future. "[5] Australian psychologist Gina Perry examined Milgram's methodology, using original data from the Yale archives in her 2013 book Behind the Shock Machine: The Untold Story of the Notorious Milgram Psychology Experiments. Perry claims that Milgram's experiments and conclusions are flawed because he intentionally downplayed or ignored critical data that failed to support his thesis.

Now enter the modern institution designed to deal with this new breed of criminal behaviors. The first prison in America is supposed to be the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia (1790) There is however another, an abandoned copper mine in Connecticut which was converted into a prison. In 1773 Newgate prison accepted its first inmate by the 1820’s it was closed due to rising costs. (McShane, Williams 1996) This was the first institution designed to incarcerate offenders with five categories of serious offenders: robbers, burglars, forgers, counterfeiters and horse thieves. Later on murderers, prisoners of war and political prisoners were housed at Newgate.
Walnut Street Prison Tonia Jenkins History of Criminal Justice Sarah Robertson April 8, 2012 The Walnut Street Prison was a pioneering effort in prison reform. Originally built as a conventional jail just before the American Revolution, it was expanded in 1790 and hailed as a model of enlightened thinking about criminals (Johnston).The prison was built on Walnut Street, in Philadelphia, as a city jail in 1773 to alleviate overcrowding in the existing city jail. The Walnut Street Prison was one of the forerunners of an entire school of thought on prison construction and reform. It was designed to provide a severe environment that left inmates much time for reflection, but it was also designed to be cleaner and safer than past prisons. The jail was designed to hold groups of inmates in large rooms.
