John Howard: Leader Of The Penitentiary Movement
Reform Movements
Penitentiaries
1. John Howard was the leader of the penitentiary movement.
2. John Howard started the “Penitentiary Movement” because he had concerns for the jailers since they were beginning to see more and more deaths from the prisoners. Howard’s actions were caused due to the diseases that were intensified by the conditions of the prisoners’ incarcerations. The conditions were particularly that the jailers did not receive a salary; however, they made a living from prisoners in the form of fees.
3. The change was needed because Howard thought that the jailers were supposed to be getting paid as well; more so, he wanted the jailers to be treated with respect.
4. Howard had goals. One of them was to promote rehabilitation …show more content…
to influence prisoners through a qualified staff who were interested in providing care. The other one that stuck out was for an attraction of a better caliber for the officer. Howard did suggest to pay the sound wages and only hire men who were “non-gamblers” and “non-drinkers” to demonstrate their high moral character. I believe that Howard did not fully achieve these goals because the text says “his work on prison reform showed motivation toward the movement.”
Asylums
1. Dorothea Dix was the leader of the first generation asylums movement.
2. The conditions that Dix thought that needed to be addressed was that of inmates (who were bounded up in chains and locked in cages), and the children (who were accused of minor thefts and tried as adults).
3.
The change was needed because the reason for all of this mishap was that people owed debts less than $20. The way that the mentally ill people were being treated disturbed Dix the most. The insanely judged people were locked away in filthy, small prison cells. If they misbehaved, they were lashed. Dix said that the mentally ill needed treatment, not punishment. Eventually, Dorothea Dix wrote about her gathered information about the unbearable acts that were seen. After reading her report, lawmakers agreed to create asylums publically for the mentally ill. A special justice system was generated just for the troubled …show more content…
children.
4. Dorothea Dix’s goals were achieved because even after she passed, state governments could no longer put debtors in prison.
Alcohol
1. Susan B. Anthony, Frances E. Willard, and Carry A. Nation were the women who led the temperance movement.
2.
The international cooperation was an issue that needed to be addressed.
3. The strategy changed from moral suasion to agitation for the government control of liquor, using social, education and political tactics. They [the women] succeeded in getting many liquor laws passed nationwide, partly thanks to backing from churches as well as industrialists who faced the poor worker, absenteeism, and productivity.
4. The goals that deals with the temperance movement were fully developed because the 18th amendment has been passed and ratified.
Women’s Rights
1. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were the ones who led the women’s rights.
2. The primary goal of organization that needs to be addressed is to achieve voting rights for women.
3. The change was needed so that women can have most of the same rights as the men did back then.
4. I believe the movements’ goals were not fully achieved because just listing all of the women’s rights is a process.
