Compare and contrast the custodial institution model to the reformatory model.
What will be an ideal response?
In the custodial institutions, women were warehoused, and they had little programming and treatment offered to help meet their needs. Generally, the women in the custodial institutions were convicted on either felony or property related crimes, with a third of them being convicted for violent crimes. The prevalence of these institutions was higher in the southern states. On the other hand, the reformatory institutions offered women various opportunities for rehabilitation. Women were sent to the reformatories for an indeterminate period of time. Another stark difference between both institutions was the disparity about inmates. Women of color were sentenced to the custodial institutions, while white women were generally serving their time in the reformatories.
