Why did New York's Auburn system prevail as the model for constructing new prisons?
What will be an ideal response?
Built in 1816, Auburn Prison was a walled, maximum-security prison with multiple-level inmate cells located in the center of a secure building. The cells in Auburn were smaller
(7 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 7 feet high), with back-to-back cells stacked five tiers high. This arrangement made it possible to house many more prisoners in much less space with less expense. Also, the cells in the Auburn model did not have flush toilets or central heating. The cells stacked one on top of another created a unique prison architecture, called an inside cell block. This architectural model for housing prison inmates became a distinctive feature of the American penal system.
