History of the Prison

Abstract

Although scholars have traditionally divided prison history into a series of discrete periods, this chapter reanalyzes this history as a series of overlapping periods in which new templates, or replicable models, of prison diffuse across the country. It thus puts the rise and fall of templates – not time periods – at the center. This analysis reveals that, contrary to standard accounts in which a single template dominates, each period offers a different number of templates with variable relationships to one another.
