What did the killers do in the Columbine?
I posted the Slate article about that in the related links box below.
The Pennsylvania system evolved a separate confinement. This idea was conceived for the hardened and atrocious offenders. This system was based on five principles:
1. Prisoners will not serve their sentences by the victims vengeance, but instead have a life changing experience though the difficulties of prison by suffering in a way that will enlighten them.
2. Solitary confinement would prevent criminal activity in prison walls.
3. In Isolation, prisoners would think about the reasons of why they are in jail and would lead them to be sorry for their wrong actions.
4. Solitary confinement in itself would be punishment because humans enjoy company. Therefore, solitary confinement is taking that joy away.
5. Solitary confinement is cost efficient because prisoners will not need a long time to repent and there will be few guards.
The New York System evolved a rival concept called the congregation system. Prisoners were held in solitary confinement-like conditions at night, but during the day the prisoners were to work yet were not permitted to look at each other or socialize.
The New York System also created the contract labor system. Private employers would provide machinery and raw materials and the prisons would provide the prisoners as laborers. Because the inmates made products to sell, the costs of the prison was covered by the contract labor system.
The differences Pennsylvania had in mind was keeping the prisoners Isolated, wanted the prisoners to repent, and wanted the prisoners to think about the bad things they have done. New York`s different ideas were strict discipline and obedience. This was required since the prisoners were going to be in the same area.
The way Pennsylvania`s system affected the inmate`s daily lives were to remain in their cells for eating, sleeping and working. Life as a prisoner in New York was different. They stayed in their cells at night but the inmates were together to eat and to work.
The activities of the Pennsylvania prisoners were Bible reading and working on crafts in their cells. New York`s prisoners activity were to work together in shops.

Why might one person attack another?
There are many reasons why people assault other people. Here are some of the common ones:
1. Out of anger. Someone may attack another person because of something the other did or was thought to have done..
2. To rob them.
3. To sexually assault them. Rapists often beat their victims to overpower them and make it easier to commit rape.
4. To kill them. The murder or the attempt to murder is an assault, and sometimes the victims are assaulted first as part of kidnapping them before either killing them or taking them to one or more persons who might do the actual killing.
5. To join a gang. Some gangs may have initiation rituals such as attacking random strangers. They also attack those who want to join the gang.
6. Out of curiosity. Some people attack others just to see what it feels like.
7. Out of mental illness or substance abuse. They are not in their right mind and may perceive threats that aren't there.
Victims precipitate 0% of all crimes. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim. The percentage of occurrence that the perpetrator is the only victim of their own crime is negligible, and that person is still the perpetrator. I can't imagine what that scholar's specialty is, certainly not crime.
