Discuss and explain the Irish System.
What will be an ideal response?
This system involved four stages beginning with a 9-month period of solitary confinement, the first 3 months with reduced rations and no work. This period of enforced idleness was presumed to make even the laziest of men yearn for some kind of activity. The solitary period was followed by a period in which convicts could earn marks through labor and good behavior to enable their transfer to an open prerelease prison when enough marks had been accumulated, and finally a ticket of leave (TOL). TOL convicts were supervised in the community by either police officers or civilian volunteers (forerunners of the modern parole officer) who paid visits to their homes and attempted to secure employment for them (Foster, 2006). Of the 557 men released on TOL under the Irish system in the 1850s, only 17 (3.05%) were revoked for new offenses; again, if true, this is an extraordinary level of success.
