During the 1800s, an offender was sent to a prison where he was isolated in a single cell, shared meals in groups with other inmates, given a Bible, and was provided with opportunities for prayer and self-reflection. This is an example of Auburn system.

Explanation:

The prison where the inmate of the prison was kept isolated and kept in a single cell is known as the auburn system. In this prison system, the inmates shared meals in groups with other inmates and also were given bibles to read and follow their religious practices.

The offender was also given proper atmosphere for prayers. He was also allowed to spend time for reflection of the self. This kind of system was mostly common during the time period of the 1800s.
