Comparing Prisons And Universities Comparing Prison and University For my paper I have chose to write about the institutions of the prison and the university. I will be defining these terms as an institution and also be comparing and contrasting both. These two institutions both serve a very specific purpose to what try to accomplish and as well have many similarities and differences. I will first define and write about prison. As defined in the Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, prison is defined as an institution (as one under state jurisdiction) for confinement of persons convicted of serious crimes. As it may not seem to us today, the use of institutions for the extended confinement of offenders, as the method of punishment, is a relatively recent idea. Not until the later years of the nineteenth century, the usual method of dealing with convicted offenders as to “impose fines or to mete out to them some more of less brutal form of corporal punishment, such as execution, flogging, mutilation, branding, and public humiliation in the stocks, pillory, and ducking-stool”(Prison History). The only time someone was confined is a public institution for any considerable length of time were mainly those imprisoned for debt or accused persons awaiting trial. Now I will prison, university, both, one, institutions, time, institution, two, rules, certain, punishment, person, people, while, differences, choose, society, procedures, involved, go, degree, about, write, whether, very, specific, something, similarity, similarities, several, sentence, purpose, point, obeyed, knowledge, form
