Houses of correction were institutions established in the 16th century to detain and reform individuals who were convicted of minor crimes or deemed to be morally wayward. They aimed to provide a structured environment for inmates to learn discipline, skills, and work habits in order to reintegrate them back into society as productive citizens. Over time, many houses of correction evolved into modern-day prisons.
