The Maconochie's system of marks put the responsibility for earning early release on the inmate. This is the last option.

The Maconochie's system, also known as the Mark system, was a penal method that was developed by Alexander Maconochie in 1840 at the English penal colony of Norfolk Island (which is located east of Australia).

Prisoners there were held until they'd earned a number of marks (or credits) fixed in proportion to the seriousness of their offenses instead of serving fixed sentences. When a prisoner had obtained the required number of credits, which were accumulated for hard work, good conduct, and study, he became eligible for release.

The Mark system emphasized performance and training as the chief mechanisms of reformation.
