The thesis is an appraisal of the plant, inmate training programme, and administration of the British Columbia Penitentiary. A primary emphasis is placed upon the rehabilitative implications of inherent problems. An historical view of the penitentiary system is followed by descriptive data and an evaluation of the physical structure of the institution. A survey of the inmate training programme is presented in Chapter IV. Specific material is included regarding staff, facilities, and basic policies and procedures. An evaluation is made in relation to modern practices in this area. Chapter V contains a description and evaluation of the administrative organization and practices within the institution. These factors are measured against accepted principles of administration. Chapter VI restates the problem and procedures employed in this study with sections devoted to a summary of the criticisms, merits, and recommendations for reform. It is fundamentally concluded that the British Columbia Penitentiary has demonstrated a noteworthy capacity for growth in terms of inmate rehabilitation, but that numerous specific improvements are prerequisite to the attainment of optimal inmate rehabilitative service. / Arts, Faculty of / Anthropology, Department of / Graduate

The problem of setting up a prison method which can avoid brutality, provide treatment, and exercise the necessary control, has been tackled many times without success. The punitive prison depends on brutality for control. The treatment prison cannot function or provide control in an atmosphere of brutality. Because the two systems are almost completely incompatible, and because changes in prisons are difficult and slow, this transition, when attempted by the usual administrative methods, has resulted in chaos. This study is an analysis of a successful transition from a punitive to a treatment approach carried out in the Regina prison, Saskatchewan. A description of the British prisons of past centuries and the all too similar Canadian prisons of today, is given as a starting point for the study. Administration, classification, and staff training, are singled out as the most important elements in the proper functioning of a treatment institution. An analysis of the trial and error process involved in the perfection of work at Regina in these areas is recorded. Job specifications, made possible by an analysis of this work, are included as an appendix. The analysis of the Regina material is based on the writer's experience in administering prisons and his visits to twenty Canadian penal institutions. The findings of the study lead to an assessment of standards which endorses the general method, used in .administration, classification, and staff training. Specific suggestions for improvement are made through the revision of job specifications and staff qualifications. The study is concluded by a prediction of future trends. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate
