3 produce history
Prison is the product of the development of human society to a certain historical stage, which comes into being with the emergence of class and country. In the primitive society before mankind entered the class society, there was no class, no prison. During the primitive society clan commune, human society was based on blood relationship. People lived by hunting, the means of production were public, and the clan leader was in charge of the distribution of property.
However, due to the low level of productivity, people's survival is difficult to guarantee. Because there is no state organization in any form, conflicts between people are solved through habitual bloody revenge. In the later period of primitive society, due to the development of productive forces, people began to form groups and used grinded or beaten stone tools to hunt, resulting in surplus products.
