Vom 6. März 1842 (bis wahrscheinlich zum 9. März) besuchte Charles Dickens im Jahre 1842 auf seiner USA-Reise die Stadt Philadelphia, wo er Edgar Allan Poe traf und das [[Eastern State Penitentiary]] besuchte. Über den Gefängnisbesuch berichtete er voller Enttäuschung über das Separate System: | |||
In the outskirts, stands a great prison, called the Eastern Penitentiary: conducted on a plan peculiar to the state of Pennsylvania. The system here, is rigid, strict, and hopeless solitary confinement. I believe it, in its effects, to be cruel and wrong. | In the outskirts, stands a great prison, called the Eastern Penitentiary: conducted on a plan peculiar to the state of Pennsylvania.
