Imprisonment was rare before the nineteenth century because punishment was mostly physical, such as corporal punishment or execution. Imprisonment was costly and seen as less effective for deterrence or reformation compared to harsher physical punishments. Additionally, prisons as we know them today were not widespread until the modern penal system was established in the 19th century.
