We finally entered the jail cell, the energy in the building was very spooky. As my brother and I walked down the hallway we saw dead rats. We also saw spiders crawling around. As we looked down the hallway it was dark but there was something shining in the center. We walked down the hallway to find a scary jack-o-lantern. It was glowing as if it was recently turned on but nobody has been there. We tried searching the place up but we instantly lost cell service. We were frightened. Suddenly, we heard voices.

    Pentonville Prison can be argued to be significant in changing the health and living conditions within British prisons, the purpose of prisoner punishment and influencing the designs and systems used within the British prison system between the years 1842-1856. It would be described as a model prison that all others took large influence from, in design, prison system, healthcare of prisoners and its purpose of reforming prisoners. However some historians such as Priestly would argue that Pentonville was an ‘expensive waste’ and not significant in changing or improving any aspect of the British prison system. Yet despite this I would argue that the sources 1,5 and 6 demonstrate that the opening of Pentonville Prison in 1842, was to a small extent,…

    Attempts to redefine what is right or wrong are numerous in history, albeit rather ineffective. Thus, the question arises as to why it is difficult, if not impossible, to make a clear distinction between just or unjust. It is not feasible because there is no scientific instrument that measures moral conventionalities. Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail both stress the need to prioritize one's conscience over the dictates of laws and encourage non-violent resistance. They address their resolution to disobey authority, especially that of political nature, when a social injustice takes place.…

    I am going to base my statement solely on my own opinion. I have worked in a public jail facility, and have had a little experience with a private facility as well. I believe based off of research, and the video that was shown for this chapter; that private jails are no better than public jails. I say this because, both types of jail facilities have to have the same required things approved by state to even be opened as an official jail. They have to have all the security items that is needed to house those inmates.…
