They were diametrically opposed with the Pennsylvania System dependent on isolation and redemption and The Auburn System designed to improve social relations and communications in a work environment. (See Penology.)
Silence and Harsh Punishment
Solitary confinement
It was an experiment in solitary confinement in prisons. This was an experiment in the Mass Prison Era of 1825-1876. Solitary Confinement was the basis for the Pennsylvania System and the Auburn System was what put an end to the Pennsylvania system.
The Auburn System is not a single prison, but a model or theory upon which a prison is planned or run. The Auburn System used the old Quaker idea of solitary confinement (Walnut Street Jail after the 1790 addition) and brought the prisoners into a common area for work assignments. It was an adaptation of the Pennsylvania System, (Eastern and Western States Penitentiaries built in 1829) which kept prisoners in their own cell to do work. The influence of the Auburn System is seen in just about any prison industry system.
Solitary confinement in individual cells but the prisoners were put to work outside their cells during the day. A strict, no, make that a very strict code of silence was imposed at all times.
Two 19th-century prison systems include the Auburn system (also known as the "silent system" or "Congregate System") and the Pennsylvania system (also known as the "separate system" or "solitary confinement"). The Auburn system emphasized congregate work during the day while the Pennsylvania system focused on isolating inmates in individual cells at all times. These approaches were developed to instill discipline and foster rehabilitation through different means of controlling and monitoring prisoners.

The Auburn system originated in the 19th century and it involved having people work during the day and at night be locked in solitary confinement. It was also known as the New York system.
Silence and confinement
The great penitentiary rivalry, primarily between Auburn and Sing Sing prisons in the 19th century, drove prison reforms focused on rehabilitation and isolation of inmates to prevent communication. This rivalry contributed to the development of the Auburn system of silent confinement and the Sing Sing system of individual cells, influencing modern prison design and management practices. The competition between these two institutions highlighted the importance of penal reform and the need for more humane treatment of prisoners.
