Answer to Question 1

The new Reformatories were essentially a continuation of the house of refuge.
 In houses of refuge:

(ii) treatment of the youths paralleled the routine nature of the facility's physical plant

(iv) troublemakers were punished; placing offenders on a diet of bread and water or depriving them of meals altogether
(v) milder forms of discipline were coupled with solitary confinement if a severe punishment was deemed necessary
(vi) corporal punishment was used alone or in combination with other corrections
(vii) the worst offenders were shipped off to sea
