All the personalities under the Age of Enlightenment
The Age of Enlightenment
The Pioneers:
1. William Penn – he fought for religious
freedom and individual rights. The first leader to
prescribe imprisonment as correctional treatment
for major offenders.
2. Charles Montesiquieu (Charles Louis, Secondat, Baron de la Brede et de
Montesiquieu) – a French historian and philosopher who analyzed law as an expression of
justice. He believes that harsh punishment would undermine morality and that appealing to
moral sentiments as a better means of preventing crime.
3. VOLTAIRE (Francois Marie Arouet) – he was the
most versatile of all philosophers during this period.
He believes that fear of shame was a deterrent to
crime. He fought the legality-sanctioned practice of
torture.
4. Jeremy Bentham – the greatest leader in the reform of English Criminal law. He believes
that whatever punishment designed to negate whatever pleasure or gain the criminal derives
from crime, the crime rate would go down.
5. James Howard – who devoted his life and
fortune to prison reform. After his findings in
English Prisons, he recommended the following:
single cells for sleeping – segregation of women –
segregation of youth – provision of sanitation
facilities – abolition of the fee system by which
jailers obtained money from prisoners.
The Reformatory Movement
In England, Alexander
Maconochie , superintendent of
penal colony at Norfolk Island in
Australia, introduced a
progressive humane system to
substitute for corporal
punishment – the Mark System. When
a prisoner earned a
required number of marks, he was
given his ticket of leave,
which is the equivalent of parole.
Maconochie introduced
several other progressive
measures, which aimed at
rehabilitating prisoners. He
introduced fair disciplinary
trials, built churches, distributed books,
allowed plays to
be staged, and permitted prisoners to
tend small gardens.
For his progressive administration
of prisoners,
Maconochie should be considered
one of the fathers of
modern penology. Maconochie is
considered the “Father
of the Parole System”
