In 1857, the law that allowed this was changed. criminals were transported or taken to court. Victorians believed that making criminals work extremely hard would deter them from committing further crimes. The crank and the treadmill: Prisons forced inmates to perform pointless work such as trying to turn a crank 10,000 times per day. Or you can walk for hours on giant circular tread mills. Special teen prisons were created, to deal with young offenders. These were referred to as " Reformatory Schools." Fines, hanging, or war into the army were the other options..
