Assignment 3: Historical Influence on Corrections Management(Adult Correction)

From the late eighteenth century through the late twentieth century, US corrections progressed through nine significant eras of development:

• The Penitentiary Era
• The Mass (Congregate) Prison Era
• The Reformatory Era
• The Industrial Era
• The Punitive Era
• The Treatment Era
• The Community-Based Era
• The Warehousing Era
• The Just Deserts Era

These eras of development provide a blueprint of US corrections development.

The needs and perceptions of society, merged with the ideology of offender supervision, resulted in drastically different management styles with time. The lessons learned by this progression provided the foundation of adult prison design and management utilized today.
