HISTORY OF CORRECTION
When every part of the world wasoccupied by men, rulers like kings andemperor’s rose like mushroom, they madeLAWS so that the “LAWS OF THEJUNGLE” WOULD NOT PREVAIL.
The HAMMURABI CODE, developed4000 years ago by the king is the firstknown Code of Laws providing punishmentfor misbehavior. Its “EYE FOR AN EYE,TOOTH FOR TOOTH” provisions wereintended to moderate excessive retaliationby those who felt slighted or wrong.4/13/2011

Is it an important reminder that desire for
revenges has been part of human nature
throughout the history. Public demand for
revenges for crime victims. Which means that
the public expects some measure for
retribution before prisoners are released.
While the public generally supports prisons
programs aimed at helping criminals become
crime free, history teaches us that they will not
do it so if these programs conflict with the felt
need revenge.

The use of prisons
for punishment of criminal
is fairly recent idea. It was
initiated 400 years ago in
ENGLAND, and later in
the United State as
REFORM – as an
alternative to brutal
physical punishment or
execution of lawbreakers.

The JAIL was introduce in
MEDIEVAL ENGLAND as a place of
CONFINEMENT of person arrested
and undergoing trial, and for those
convicted of minor offenses.
Convicted offenders were later on
chained to galleys to man the ship of
war countries such as England,
France and Spain, who used
transportation system of punishment
by sending their convicts to penal
colonies were they serve as a
SLAVE until they completed their
service of their sentences.4/13/2011

However, during the last
half of the 19th’’ Century,

was abandoned because of
the agitation and protest of
the colonies.
