Conditions in England in the 18th century were tough: the Industrial Revolution had made it harder for people to earn an honest wage as simpler tasks were replaced by machine labour. A single machine, whether it be a sewing machine or a plough used in farming, could replace numerous people. As a result, unemployment rose, and people turned to crime to survive. The theft of basic necessities such as food and clothing was particularly common, and these crimes were committed by men, women and children equally.
Punishment wasn't really "invented" it is actually an instinct for any living mammal to punish when needed. The forms of punishment were the ways that were invented, but most people do not use the same methods of punishment.
Social reformers such as Dorothea Dix worked to improve conditions in prisons and poorhouses in the 19th century. They advocated for better treatment of inmates and those in poverty, leading to changes in laws and policies that aimed to provide more humane living conditions.
Reformers and activists, such as Elizabeth Fry and Dorothea Dix, worked to address abuses and improve sanitary conditions in correctional facilities during the 19th century. They advocated for better living conditions, healthcare, and rehabilitation programs for prisoners.
Convicts in the past were often housed in prisons or correctional facilities. These locations were designated for individuals serving their sentences as punishment for criminal activities. The living conditions in these facilities varied and could range from basic to overcrowded and poor.
To answer this question... just think of all the same reasons people commit crimes today... Remember people don't change... and the reasons why people do things don't change either..Reasons to commit crime:They are on drugs (narcotics or alcohol)They want or need money to survive.Hate authority: racial, religious, personal reasonsThey are in a gang or peer pressure.They are bored.To protect yourself or someone else.They are hungry there are massive food shortages.There was an opportunity (because it is too easy, risk vs. reward, desire and opportunity)Wages in factories is extremely low and the work is extremely hard and long. It is just easier to steal.

Friedrich Engels highlighted two primary characteristics of working-class living conditions in England: the appalling levels of poverty and the unsanitary living environments. He emphasized that workers often resided in overcrowded, dilapidated housing with inadequate sanitation, leading to widespread disease. Engels argued that these conditions were a direct result of industrial capitalism and the exploitation of labor, which dehumanized the working class.
