Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answer (should include points such as):
Instead of sentences for a specific amount of time, Maconochie required offenders to earn a specific number of marks based on the severity of the crime, and they would be released once they earned the required level of marks through work and good behavior. His system consisted of four stages on the way to release, each providing more personal liberty to the prisoner.
 The penal stage emphasized punishment and included solitary confinement and a diet of bread and water.
 The associated stage allowed inmates to associate and begin to earn marks through work, program participation, and good behavior. Poor behavior resulted in an increase in the number of marks required for release.
 The third stage was the social stage, in which inmates were grouped and held jointly responsible for the conduct of each other, as a way to begin the process of living responsibly in society.
 The final stage was a ticket of leave, in which prisoners earning the required level of marks received a conditional pardon and were released to the community.
