요약 : American Protestants from across the denominational spectrum played an integral role in designing, administering, evangelizing, and reforming the nations first prisons. Troubled by corporal and capital punishments practiced in the colonial period, they offered themselves as disciplinary specialists in the country's experiments with reformatory incarceration. From their own backgrounds of communal discipline and spiritual experience, they offered a moral vision of sin and redemption necessary to reform offenders within prison walls. While they often met with inmate resistance, troubles with state officials proved their biggest obstacle. Lawmakers with different perspectives on the prison's purpose balked at the reformers' and ministers' methods, especially their high cost. In response to the state's refusal to accept their reformatory project as a whole, the Protestant activists attempted several strategies to shape inmates' experience. Nevertheless, they gradually lost influence in a prison system they had helped establish. This dissertation traces Protestant reformers' and ministers' work to influence prison development in New York State, which hosted one of the nation's groundbreaking penal experiments and was widely copied across the nation. It shows the Protestant activists' intention to make the prison a reforming institution, the resources within their traditions on which they drew, and the way in which they faced the political difficulties of realizing their vision within the tumultuous climate of the early republic and antebellum periods.
