Design and reform: the ‘separate system’ in the nineteenth-century English prison
2003
The key to the immense changes during these years was a particular method and ideology of imprisonment known as the
‘separate system’. At a time of increasing centralisation of government and the introduction of administrative uniformity in
many spheres, it was a system which was to have immense and far-reaching implications. Broadly speaking, the prisons that
were entirely rebuilt during this period are those which are still in use today. As a case study in how social ideas were
embodied in a particular built form, this chapter examines the separate system prison and the process by which it was
institutionalised in nineteenth-century England.
