    False, the Walnut Street Jail was not a place in which prisoners were employed in hard labor in the institution and released during the day to repair and clean streets and highways.

    Explanation:

    First of all, half of the prompt is true. The Walnut Street Jail was built in Philadelphia by the Quakers in 1773. However, it didn't employ prisoners to perform the repair of the streets during the day allowed them to walk out of the prison. It did allow them to mingle with other prisoners because it was the first institution to incarcerate them in lone-isolation. The requirement for them to mingle with the rest of the prisoners was the work of hard labor. But it took place inside the walls of the institution.
