Prison reform in 1800s

Give students the chance to decide how they would have reformed prisons in the 1800s. The lesson includes a price list of different possible reforms and a fill in sheet for students to complete. This can be done as a group task or individual, students must spend their ‘prison points’ wisely to decide how they would reform prisons in the 1800s. The task sheet is broken down to allow them to decide what their priorities are for their first and second years. Could follow up with a lesson of how prisons were actually reformed.
