Criminal-pedagogy * Dr. Ruzsonyi '11

IV. Theoretical construction of the „new generation” prisons for juveniles

Why human beings do punish?

Is punishment necessary?


Incarceration wasn’t punishment. The only purpose of it was to keep the arrested people together up to the judgement. They used “common system”

at that time.Criminal-pedagogy * Dr. Ruzsonyi '11

The main purpose: restriction of the free-movement.


The character of the punishment: public (general) deterrence and personal reprisal.


as a final solution: body-mutilation and/or execution.

Barge Haulers


Imprisonment became punishment when the freedom became value. (1789, Paris: liberty/freedom – fraternity/ brotherhood –

equality)
