CAPTAIN ALEXANDER MACONOCHIE
(1787-1860)
 In 1840, Maconochie was appointed as a
Governor of the notorious English penal
colony at Norfolk Island of the coast of
Australia. The first thing Maconochie did was
to eliminate the Flat Sentence structure used
in Norfolk at the time of his arrival. Instead of
requiring convicts to serve their sentences
with no hope of release until the full
sentence had been served, Maconochie
initiated a “Mark System” whereby a
convict could earn freedom by hard work and
good behavior of the prison.
SIR WALTER CROFTON (1815-1897)
 Like Maconochie, Sir Walter believed the
length of the sentence should not be
arbitrary period of time but should be related
to the rehabilitation of the offender. After the
coming the administrator of the Irish Prison
System in 1854, Crofton initiated a system
incorporating three classes of penal
servitude; strict imprisonment,
indeterminate sentences, and tickets of
leave.
ZEBULON REED BROCKWAY
(1827-1920)
FATHER OF PRISON REFORM AND FATHER OF AMERICAN
PAROLE IN THE UNITED STATES
• Zebulon, a Mitchigan penologist is usually credited with initiating
indeterminate sentences and parole released in the United States,
Similar to Maconochie, and Crofton, Brockway believed inmates should
be able to earn their way out of prison through good behavior.
• Brockway had the opportunity to pioneer this proposal into practice in
1876 when he was appointed as Superintendent of Elmira Reformatory
for Youthful Offenders in New York. Inmates of Elmira where graded on
their conduct, achievement and education.
• Thus, by the term of the century the major concepts underlying parole
where place in the United States : (1) a reduction in the sentence
incarceration based on good behavior in prison; (2) Supervision
of the Parolee in the community; and (3) Indeterminate
Sentences. By 1901, 20 states had parole status and by 1944, every
jurisdiction in the United States had some form of parole released and
indeterminate sentencing.
