Summary
History may not repeat itself, but there seem to be reverberating themes. One such theme is the challenge of “how” and “where” to manage people who behave in dangerous, scary, or unacceptable ways. Throughout time, these individuals have been placed in institutional settings or facilities; the names of which often belied the philosophical approach popular at the time. Reform schools and correctional institutions were providing discipline, remains because the reality of people who behave in dangerous, scary, or unacceptable ways is much more complex.
