Eastern was criticized for its exceptional reliance on what was seen as an inhumane, expensive, and ineffective approach to confinement. Why did it persist in its deviance? This book traces the process by which Eastern's criticized method of confinement became institutionalized for its administrators. Often working against the opposition of the local penal reformers and state legislature, Eastern's administrators fought both publicly and behind the scenes to maintain their unique approach because of the particular value it offered them. Ultimately, this study retells the history of nineteenth century prison innovation and diffusion from the perspective of those actors most demonized within the penal field. It offers multiple lessons for understanding penal trends, including the way in which anxiety that about significant penal change shapes penal actors' decisions. It also illustrates how organizations, including state-run organizations, can continuously defy legal, penal, and cultural norms in ways standard organizational theories cannot explain"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Prisons $z Pennsylvania $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Prison administration $z Pennsylvania $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Corrections $z Pennsylvania $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Corrections $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Corrections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00880260 650 7 $a Prison administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077006 650 7 $a Prisons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077326 651 7 $a Pennsylvania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204598 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a State Penitentiary for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rubin, Ashley T. $t Deviant prison $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021. $z 9781108754095 $w (DLC) 2020020526 830 0 $a Cambridge historical studies in American law and society. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020013636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E852AC2E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
