Instructions: Please read the passage and answer the following questions. Please make sure that your response is 200 words or more for each question. You can use outside resources to validate your response. We opened this chapter by discussing Federal Prison Industries (FPI). This program employs incarcerated individuals who work many different jobs, using different types of tools and machinery. Having prison residents perform work has been common ever since the first U. S. penitentiary opened. However, the way in which convicted individuals perform work has changed over the years.

1. Recall that the separate confinement system in Pennsylvania had people in "productive labor" alone in their cells. Could the FPI's garment factory coordinate its confined labor force using the separate confinement system. Explain your answer.

2, In the New York system, prison inhabitants were employed in workshops but were forbidden to talk to one another. To enforce this rule, Warden Elam Lynds advocated using a whip. Would a rule of silence help FPI employees work more efficiently? Because the use of a whip would not be tolerated today, how would you enforce such a rule? What would Elam Lynds think of FPI?

3. How are the people incarcerated in today's prisons different from those who were once confined in the Pennsylvania and New York systems during the early 1800s? How might these differences influence prison work programs? Could a work program be effective for all prison inhabitants regardless of the historical time period? What would such a work program look like?
