La présence d'une bibliothèque en milieu carcéral apporte des bienfaits aux personnes incarcérées. Elle est source de loisir, d’éducation et d'accès à l'information dans un environnement hautement sécurisé et limitatif. La bibliothèque de prison est soutenue par les déclarations des Nations Unies pour le traitement des détenus, le Manifeste de l'UNESCO sur la bibliothèque publique et par la Fédération internationale des associations et institutions des bibliothèques (International Federation of Library Association and Institutions (IFLA)) qui en soulignent les avantages. Des études ont été menées dans différents pays sur la présence, la gestion et les rôles de la bibliothèque de prison dans différents types d'établissements correctionnels. Cependant, très peu d'études ont été publiées au Canada et, au Québec, aucune depuis 1973. Ainsi, cette recherche vise à dresser un portrait des services de bibliothèque offerts dans les établissements de détention de juridiction provinciale du Québec. Cette recherche descriptive repose sur une recherche documentaire et une enquête auprès des responsables de la bibliothèque par le biais d'un questionnaire en ligne. Les résultats montrent que tous les établissements ayant répondu à l'enquête offrent des services de bibliothèque, et que presque toutes les bibliothèques possèdent un local dédié et une collection assez riche. On observe toutefois que plusieurs cibles notamment celles de l'IFLA ne sont pas atteintes (accessibilité physique, diversification des supports, activités, ressources technologiques). Ces résultats enrichissent un volet de la bibliothéconomie qui est peu traité en apportant des données actuelles sur la situation dans les établissements de détention de la province. Ils mettent en lumière une tranche de la population souvent invisible pour qui la bibliothèque est importante et ouvrent la voie à de futures recherches sur le sujet. / The presence of a library in a prison environment brings benefits to prisoners. It is a source of leisure, education and access to information in a highly secure and limiting environment. The prison library is supported by the statements of the United Nations for the treatment of prisoners, the UNESCO Public Library Manifesto and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) which highlight its benefits. Studies have been conducted in different countries in the presence, management and roles of the prison library in different types of correctional institutions. However, very few studies have been published in Canada and none in Quebec since 1973. Thus, the research aims to draw a portrait of the library services offered in detention facilities under Quebec's jurisdiction. The realization of this descriptive research has been done through a documentary research and a survey with the people managing the libraries using an online questionnaire. The results of this study show that all establishments offer library services in detention centres under provincial jurisdiction in Quebec. The results show that prisoners cannot use services on site or directly access documents in almost all establishments. In addition, there is a lack of diversity in the document supports, few activities are proposed, and no technological resources are accessible. These results enrich a section of librarianship that is little treated by providing current data on the situation in the province’s detention facilities. They shed light on an often invisible segment of the population for whom the library is important and pave the way for future research on the subject.

This study critically analyses the protection and enforcement of inmates’ socio-economic rights in South Africa. For the purpose of this study inmates’ socio-economic rights include the right to adequate medical treatment, accommodation, nutrition and education. This analysis is informed by the fact that South African courts are struggling to interpret and enforce inmates’ socio-economic rights as required by the Constitution and international norms and standards. The objective of this study, therefore, is whether South Africa protects and enforces these rights as required by the Constitution and international norms and standards. In an attempt to resolve the problem, the methodology of this study relies on a legal methodology which focuses on a review of law books, journal articles, the constitutions, statutes, regulations and case law. The study concludes that South Africa protects and enforces these rights as required by the Constitution and complies with international norms and standards. However, the enforcement of these rights has to pay attention to the constitutional imperatives of interpreting the Bill of Rights. When interpreting inmates’ right to adequate medical treatment, it is imperative for the courts to unpack its content. The courts need to also promote the value of human dignity when determining whether overcrowding violates their right to adequate accommodation. The determination of whether their right to adequate nutrition has been violated should focus on whether inmates’ claim to cultural food is based on a sincere belief which could be objectively supported. Further, the Regulations should extend the right to cultural or religious food to all inmates. Lastly, it is the duty of the courts and the institutions of higher learning to ensure that inmates have access to the internet for study purpose. / Public, Constitutional, & International Law / LL.D.

La présente étude a comme objectif de saisir et comprendre l’univers carcéral de par l’expérience des hommes incarcérés pour la première fois. À partir d’entrevues qualitatives menées auprès de vingt et un hommes incarcérés pour la première fois dans deux prisons du Québec, nous avons analysé les thèmes de la prison actuelle et de l’expérience carcérale d’un point de vue interactionniste. Il ressort de nos analyses, qu’à l’heure actuelle, en dépit des améliorations des conditions de détention, comme la décentralisation des pouvoirs et les droits accordés aux détenus, la prison demeure un environnement« totale » et « disciplinaire » qui terrorise les détenus et qui les soumets à une souffrance extrême. Ces conditions forcent les détenus à tenter de s’adapter cognitivement soit par la gestion du stress ou par la reprise de contrôle afin de retrouver un certain bien-être à l’intérieur des murs. / This study investigates how first time inmates experience life in prison. In order to gain greater knowledge of correctional centers and to better understand the impact of incarceration on prisoners, we carried out qualitative semi-structured interviews with twenty-one first time prisoners in two Québec prisons. Our analysis suggests that although much improvement has taken place in correctional facilities in the past thirty years, for instance the incursion of society inside the walls, the decentralization of power and the granting of inmate’s rights, prisons remain “total” and “disciplinary” institutions. Prisoners still experience the pains of imprisonment, still experience extreme fear and still suffer greatly. Prison adaptation is explained as a way for inmates to relive their suffering. Our findings suggest that the pursuit of control and efficient stress coping enables first-time inmates to attain a certain well being within the prison walls.

Cette thèse pose un premier regard sur l’expérience subjective de la violence manifestée par les individus atteints d’un trouble de santé mentale grave et persistant et d’un trouble lié à une substance. À partir d’une recension des écrits, elle présente, dans le premier chapitre, une adaptation des volets psychopharmacologique et économico-compulsif du modèle tripartite de Goldstein (1985), à la population aux prises avec une telle comorbidité. Dans les deuxième et troisième chapitres, elle présente l’analyse qualitative d’une série d’entrevues effectuées auprès de détenus incarcérés dans une unité de santé mentale d’un pénitencier canadien pour cause de délits violents. Elle explore, dans ces chapitres, les représentations de l’influence de la consommation sur les différentes sphères de la vie de ces détenus ainsi que l’importance qu’ils attribuent à celles-ci quant au passage à l’acte responsable de leur incarcération. L’analyse démontre que presque la moitié des personnes interrogées attribue la responsabilité du délit violent aux effets directs de la substance sur les symptômes liés à la maladie mentale ou aux effets directs de celle-ci sur leur comportement et leurs cognitions. Les autres attribuent plutôt la responsabilité de leur acte violent à la détérioration de leur fonctionnement psychosocial (c’està- dire à leur incapacité graduelle à maintenir un emploi, à se nourrir, se loger et à entretenir des relations sociales, amoureuses ou familiales), qui résulte des conséquences sociales et économiques associées à l’usage répétitif et/ou excessif de substances intoxicantes. À la lumière de ces résultats, le deuxième chapitre vérifie l’applicabilité du volet psychopharmacologique à cette population, et le troisième, celle du volet économico-compulsif. Les trois chapitres de cette thèse sont présentés sous forme d’articles scientifiques. / This thesis offers a first look at the subjective experience of violent behaviour manifested by individuals who present a severe mental disorder and a substance abuse disorder. The first chapter presents an adaptation of Goldstein’s psychopharmacological and economic-compulsive models (1985), based on a literature review. The second and third chapter present a qualitative analysis of a series of interviews conducted with mentally disordered offenders from a Canadian penitentiary who are incarcerated for violent crimes. These chapters explore the inmates’ perceptions of the influence of the substance abuse on the various aspects of their lives and of its contribution in the realization of their crime. The results show that almost half of the subjects were of the opinion that their violent crime resulted from the direct influence of the substance abuse on their mental illness, on their behaviour or on their cognitions. The others attributed the responsibility of their violent crime to the gradual deterioration of their general psychosocial functioning (meaning their gradual inability to hold a job, to feed themselves, to maintain housing accommodations, as well as social, familial and love relationships) that results from the social and economical consequences of substance abuse. Based on these results, the second and third chapter discuss the applicability of the psychopharmacological and economiccompulsive models to this population. All three chapters are presented in the form of a scientific article.

Depuis longtemps, le sentiment d’insécurité suscite l’intérêt des chercheurs en sciences sociales. En milieu carcéral, ce phénomène est encore peu étudié. Les différentes études arrivent à des résultats incohérents par rapport aux facteurs reliés au sentiment d’insécurité des détenus. Les différentes façons de conceptualiser et de mesurer ce phénomène apparaissent souvent comme une des causes de l’incohérence des résultats obtenus. La présente étude a comme objectif général d’approfondir les connaissances sur le sentiment d’insécurité des incarcérés et présente les objectifs spécifiques suivants: (1) dresser un portrait quantitatif du sentiment d'insécurité en tenant compte de ses dimensions affective, cognitive et comportementale; (2) estimer le taux de victimisation dans les pénitenciers canadiens du Québec; (3) analyser les facteurs reliés aux différentes dimensions du sentiment d'insécurité; (4) analyser l’interrelation entre les différentes dimensions du sentiment d’insécurité. Afin d’atteindre ces objectifs, les données recueillies auprès de 293 détenus de dix pénitenciers québécois ont été analysées. Des analyses descriptives ont été utilisées pour documenter le sentiment d’insécurité des détenus en tenant compte de différentes dimensions. Des analyses bi variées et multi variées ont permis d'identifier les facteurs individuels et contextuels en relation significative avec les différentes dimensions du sentiment d’insécurité. Des modèles de régression hiérarchisée ont permis d’analyser l’interrelation entre les différentes dimensions du sentiment d’insécurité, en tenant compte de l’influence de facteurs individuels et contextuels. Les résultats ont révélé un niveau d’insécurité peu élevé et variable parmi la population carcérale et aussi que les différentes dimensions du sentiment d’insécurité étaient affectées par différents facteurs et qu'elles étaient partiellement inter reliées. / For a long time, the feeling of safety has been a subject matter of interest to social scientists. Applied in prisons, this phenomenon is not much studied. Different studies have come to inconsistent results with respect to factors related to insecurity. The different ways of conceptualizing and measuring this phenomenon often appear as a cause of the inconsistency of the results. The present study aims to deepen general knowledge about the insecurity sentiment and present the following specific objectives: (1) provide a quantitative picture of the feeling of safety, taking into account its emotional, cognitive and behavioral dimensions; (2) estimate the victimization rate in Canadian penitentiaries in Quebec; (3) analyse the different factors that are related to the different dimensions of feeling of safety; (4) analyse the interrelation between the different dimensions of the feeling of safety. To achieve these objectives, data from 293 inmates held in ten Quebec prisons were analyzed. Descriptive analyses were used to document the insecurity of prisoners taking into account various dimensions. Bivariate and multivariate analyses have permitted to identify the individual and contextual factors that are significantly associated with the different dimensions of insecurity. Hierarchical regression models were used to verify the interrelation between the different dimensions of feeling of safety, taking into account the influence of other factors. The results showed a level of insecurity that is low and variable among the prison population, and also that the different dimensions of insecurity were affected by various factors and were partially interconnected.

Prison labor, establishing itself as a point of convergence between several different purposes conferred, contemporaneously, the capital punishment, meets, among other meanings, those who drive for understanding as a "transformative" intervention protagonist instrument in the life of inmates. Despite the possible ambiguities that entails meaning of prison labor in their configurations, we perceive it in our study as a motivating factor for the reflections and their exploitation in combating the social vulnerability of prisoners and individuals targeted by criminal selectivity. In this sense, we seek from this thesis unveilings subsidies from individuals belonging to two opposite geographically regional realities able to provide a critical analysis of the impacts that the work in prison strikes with the perspectives of life of inmates in their paths of returning to social life. The locations of data collection - Institute of Penitentiary Administration of Amapá/AP and Canguçu State Prison/RS - were chosen with the purpose of establishing tensioners contrasts of influences that the social, economic and cultural characteristics of each region register in the operation of the prison job by their administrators, as well as their responsiveness on the part of inmates of the prison system. For the pursuit of these objectives, sociological contributions of Michel Foucault, David Garland and Gustavo Busso were fundamental on the transmutations regarding the mechanism of power relations between social control and criminal selectivity, and notions concerning social vulnerability, respectively / A problemática prisional representa um dos maiores desafios a serem enfrentados pelas políticas sociais e penitenciárias. O trabalho prisional, por constituir-se como um ponto de convergência entre inúmeros propósitos distintos conferidos contemporaneamente à pena de prisão, reúne, dentre outros significados, aqueles que se direcionam para o seu entendimento como instrumento protagonista de intervenção transformadora na vida dos condenados. Não obstante as eventuais ambigüidades que a acepção do trabalho prisional enseja em suas configurações, procuramos percebê-lo em nosso estudo como um elemento motivador de reflexões voltadas à sua instrumentalização no enfrentamento da vulnerabilidade social de egressos e indivíduos abarcados pela seletividade criminal. Neste sentido, buscamos através desta Dissertação desvelamentos a partir de sujeitos pertencentes a duas realidades regionais geograficamente opostas subsídios capazes de nos fornecer uma análise crítica acerca dos impactos que o trabalho prisional logra junto às perspectivas de vida dos egressos em suas trajetórias de retorno ao convívio social. As localidades de coleta dos dados Instituto de Administração Penitenciária do Amapá/AP e Presídio Estadual de Canguçu/RS foram escolhidas no desígnio de se estabelecer contrastes tensionadores das influências que as características sociais, econômicas e culturais de cada região imprimem na operacionalização do trabalho prisional por parte de seus administradores, assim como em sua receptividade junto aos apenados e egressos do sistema carcerário. Para a persecução de tais objetivos, fundamentais foram as contribuições sociológicas de Michel Foucault, David Garland e Gustavo Busso acerca das transmutações referentes aos mecanismos de poder, das relações entre o controle social e a seletividade criminal, e das noções concernentes à vulnerabilidade social, respectivamente

It is justified by the possibility to shed some light on the ways social and economically adverse conditions may cause subjective effects that articulate with the involvement in legally reprehensible acts. The research is organized methodologically by means of the psychoanalytic approach of quotes by women who participated, as interviewees, of a Brazilian documentary about the issue. Repeated exposure to the film, accompanied by the transcription of the lines, have allowed the interpretive production of two fields of affectiveemotional senses: "Where's My Grandson's Milk?" and "Where's The Treatment?". The first presents more of a general aspect, whilst the secondmust be considered as a variation of the previous. Revisited by the light of a dialogue with other authors, such fields indicate the centrality of the social helplessness phenomenon, which conveys intimately to the injustice originated from poverty and social inequality. We have concluded that the contributions of Winnicottian thought concerning the link between deprivation and delinquency may be usefully revised and extended in order to include, in a more clear way, not only affective, but other kinds of deprivation, such as material ones, that lead to insecurity, helplessness and feelings of humiliation. / Cette recherche pr?sente une observation profonde sur la souffrance?motionnelle des femmes d?tenues pour vols de quelque chose insignifiante. Cette th?se vise ? penser comment la condition sociale et la condition ?conomique d?favorable peuvent provoquer des effets subjectifs qui se combinent avec la participation dansl?actes juridiquement r?pr?hensibles. La recherche est organis?e m?thodologiquement par l?approche psychanalytique qui examinent les discours des femmes, lesquelles ont particip?au documentaire national sur le probl?me.Expositions successives au film, accompagn?s de transcriptions de discours, ont permis une production interpr?tative de deux champs affectif-?motionnels: ?O? est le Lait de Mon Petit-Fils?? et ?O? est le Traitement??. Le premier champ pr?sente un aspect plus g?n?ral, tandis que le second doit ?tre consid?r? comme une variante du pr?c?dent.Par le dialogue avec d'autres auteurs, ces champs indiquent la centralit? du ph?nom?ne de l'impuissance sociale, qui s?associe ?troitement avec l?injustice d?riv?e de la pauvret? et de l'in?galit? sociale. Nous concluons que les contributions de la pens?e de Winnicott, en ce qui concerne la relation parmi la privation et la criminalit?, peuvent ?tre r?vis?es et ?tendues pour int?grer plus clairement, non seulement les besoins affectifs, mais aussi des autres necessit?s, comme le besoin d?ordre mat?riel, parce que cela provoque l'ins?curit?, l'impuissance et le sentiment d'humiliation. / A presente pesquisa objetiva investigar o sofrimento emocional de mulheres presas por autoria de furtos de bagatelas. Justifica-se na medida em que pode lan?ar luz sobre as formas como condi??es sociais e economicamente desfavor?veis podem gerar efeitos subjetivos que se articulam com o envolvimento em atos legalmente conden?veis. A investiga??o se organiza metodologicamente por meio da abordagem psicanal?tica das falas de mulheres que participaram, como entrevistadas, de um document?rio nacional sobre o problema. Sucessivas exposi??es ao filme, acompanhadas pela transcri??o das falas, permitiram a produ??o interpretativa de dois campos de sentido afetivo-emocional: ?Cad? o Leite do Meu Neto?? e ?Cad? o Tratamento??. O primeiro apresenta car?ter mais geral, enquanto o segundo deve ser considerado uma varia??o do anterior. Revisitados ? luz de interlocu??o com outros autores, tais campos indicam a centralidade do fen?meno do desamparo social, que se veicula intimamente ? injusti?a derivada da pobreza e desigualdade social. Conclu?mos que as contribui??es do pensamento winnicottiano, relativas ? liga??o entre priva??o e delinqu?ncia, podem ser proveitosamente revistas e ampliadas, no sentido de inclu?rem, de modo mais claro, n?o apenas car?ncias afetivas mas tamb?m outras, de ordem material, causadoras de inseguran?a, desamparo e sentimentos de humilha??o.
