Reformatories promoted the twin theories of innate sexual differences and the need for appropriately separate spheres for women prisoners.
The reformatory movement was ultimately a widespread success and led to the establishment of separate women's institutions in twenty-three states by 1940.

The reformatories Miss Skene describes primarily to punish the non-conformist behaviour of the penitents.

 Women and Imprisonment in the u.s.
On the other hand, there were reformatories which, as the name implies, were intended to be more benevolent institutions that "uplifted" or "improved" the character of the women held there.
Jennie B., for instance, was sent to Albion reformatory for five years for having "had unlawful sexual intercourse with young men and remain[ing] at hotels with young men all night, particularly on July 4, 1893."41 Lilian R. quit school and ran off for one week with a soldier, contracting a venereal disease.
Reformatories were an early attempt at "treatment," that is, the uplifting and improvement of the women, as opposed to mere punishment or retribution.

 Penitentiaries, Reformatories and Chain Gangs: Social Theory and the History of Punishment in Nineteenth Century ...
Mark Colvin examines three case studies from the 19th century that represent shifts in the interpretation of punishment: the rise of penitentiaries in the Northeast; the changes in treatment of women offenders in the North; and the transformation of punishment in the South after the Civil War.
In addition, he examines topics such as how punishment differs from reform, the treatment of women in reformatories, and the notion that convict leasing and chain gangs of fl prisoners in the South are a perpetuation of plantation slave labor.
The penitentiary, reformatory and chain gang were all developed during the 19th century, which belies the importance of that century to American history and the history of punishment in particular as it forms the bridge between earlier forms of punishment in Colonial America and the development of the modern penal system.

DISTRICT REFORMATORIES for the treatment of those who are now confined in jails for misdemeanors; reformatories in which persons living vicious lives, when arrested and convicted, may be cured, and thus saved from a life of crime.
The whole vile system of common jails for the imprisonment of convicted persons must be uprooted and blotted from existence, and the structures for detaining alleged offenders be made suitable in all respects for the custody of witnesses, with large, well-lighted, cheerful apartments, strong and secure against escapes, entirely isolating their occupants from each other.
Prisoners released from state prisons unreformed, as too many of them are, usually plunge at once into dissipation and become "disorderly persons," whose prompt arrest and treatment would save them and society from the effect of fresh felonies.
