Auburn description:

• A. Complete isolation - encourage reflection and remorse - prohibited from speaking
• B. Multi-tiered - tower in the center - supervised at all times
• C. Eat and work together - isolated at night - total silence
• D. Prisoners are organized into separate cells with strict discipline

Answer: (C)

The Auburn system combines group work and strict silence. In this model, prisoners work and eat together during the day, but are kept in near-total silence and housed in cells at night. The emphasis is on routine, discipline, and the deterrent effect of order and supervision, rather than complete isolation all day. The description that fits is: inmates eat and work together during the day, are isolated at night, and maintain total silence. This contrasts with systems that keep inmates in solitary confinement at all times or rely on constant, visually oppressive supervision.
