    The Auburn and Pennsylvania prison systems both believed that criminal habits were reinforced by other criminals, though they differed in their approaches. The Pennsylvania system required complete isolation of prisoners at all times, while the Auburn system allowed prisoners to eat and work together in silence. Sing Sing prison mirrored aspects of both systems through its structure and design, implementing elements of isolation and silent group activities. It became known as a harsh prison, effectively carrying out executions until 1963 through its emulation of earlier pioneering prison models.

    prison.
