Bentham was an English philosopher in the 18th century. He advocated panopticon, where an observer could observe all the prisoners without being seen. With the thought of constantly being watched, Bentham and others believed that the prisoners would act better. This would call for a prison to be in a circular shape.
Sin and repentance are motivating factors of individuals.
Howard was known as an English prisoner reformer in the 18th century. He wrote "The State of Prisons" in 1777, which gave an account of the many prisons he visited in the United Kingdom and Europe and how to improve them. He advocated the practice of single cells.

Love all of your pictures! This was probably my favorite place that I visited in my short stay in Ireland, as I never got to any museums per se. The tour guide for my group was excellent as well. Made me wish I knew more of Ireland's history. Nice job capturing all the different aspects!
