John Howard established an inmate sanitation facility and reform regime where he created the Prison Act of 1779 to provide a safer prison to detainees. There are many prisons that do not keep their prisoners in good sanitation cells and many become ill and can lead to death. For example, during the Shawshank Redemption, prisoners were given food that contained maggots and was very unsanitary for the prisoners to eat. Additionally, when prisoners were placed in the hole, they could not bathe during the time they remained inside the hole. For example, when Andy was placed in solitary confinement for a month, he was unable to bathe or change his clothes into clean ones and was only given food and had no human contact. The inmates were treated inhumanely, while the Penitentiary Act of 1779 was not respected and failed to provide a safe and hygienic prison for the inmates. This law also focused on inmate reform, but Shawshank Redemption Prison did not provide any inmate reform. For example, when Red is going to be released, he is asked if he is rehabilitated and ready to reenter society and he answers that if they mean if he regrets the crime he committed, he answers that he regrets what he did. , but he is not rehabilitated at all, he says it is a word invented by politicians, but it does not apply to prisoners. The Shawshank Redemption did not provide safe or sanitary conditions for prisoners and the Penitentiary Act of 1779 applied in the country.
