"Us poor Devils.": prison life and culture in Ontario: 1874-1914
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
What was life like in the prisons of early Ontario? What kind of people were the inmates, these “poor devils?” The goal of this thesis is to answer these questions. The three prisons in Ontario, the provincial Central Prison for men and the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for women as well as the federal Kingston Penitentiary, all embraced, with varying success, contemporary criminological theories. Brutal and strange, grim and yet sometimes hilarious, the intensity of the prison regime could not fail to transform the perspectives of all who were touched by it. Twentieth century sociologists have studied the unique environment of the prison and have suggested several theories to explain the behaviours of inmates. At the heart of every analysis was one question: who was the inmate? This was a question that Ontario inmates also asked themselves. From the moment they first entered the prison, inmates' identities were called into question. They were made to wear uniforms, told how to cut their hair, how to speak, how to eat and what to eat. And yet while convicts were forced to make personal adaptations to imprisonment, prisoners and staff alike struggled to move beyond their predetermined roles and interact as human beings. The enmity between prisoners and staff produced much violence and brutality on both sides. It also nourished the solidarity of convicts and their secretive “code” of conduct, with its contraband merchandise and premeditated acts of escape and revolt. Nevertheless, many guards were enthusiastic participants in the convict-led contraband trade, and some formed genuine friendships with prisoners. The prison was a far less formal place than it seemed and convicts, wardens, guards, guests and even visiting children intermingled and related to each other on a personal, rather than completely professional basis. When it came time to leave prison, convicts again began asking themselves, “Who am I?” For those who made it back to the outside world, reintegration was often a time for new beginnings. Many convicts moved to new cities and started new careers and reflected on their freedom with a new perspective and a heightened appreciation.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
