Full textAbstract:
The 1850s and 1860s saw the rise of a new women’s prison reform ideology that would shape the next half-century of women’s imprisonment. “Maternalism” was the promotion of femininity as the basis of reform and rehabilitation with accompanying notions of ideal womanhood and appropriate roles for imprisoned women and in the aftermath of a penitentiary sentence. This paper looks at literal motherhood in the penitentiary by examining the experiences of prisoner Emily Boyle. Boyle was pregnant during two separate terms at Kingston Penitentiary. During the first term in 1926, she was paroled so that she could return to Edmonton to give birth. During her second term in 1932, no mercy was extended in consideration of her pregnancy and Boyle began a battle with the Department of Justice over her right to keep her baby within the walls of Kingston Penitentiary. The warden recommended that Boyle be separated from her child and it be sent to the Home for Infants, in spite of the fact that the father was in Edmonton. Boyle resisted this decision, and in fact resisted all penitentiary involvement with her pregnancy and childbirth. She ultimately gave birth in the bathroom of the women’s ward with the assistance of two matrons. When the child was taken away from her, both Boyle and her husband fought the Department of Justice decision on the matter, rallying against the notion that their child was better served by the Children’s Aid Society. The paper examines multiple questions about motherhood and maternalism in the penitentiary’s first century. It argues that maternalism and motherhood were found at cross purposes when balanced with the demands of punishment. Emily Boyle found herself at this intersection, fighting to keep her child in an institution geared towards teaching her to become the ideal mother.

Full textAbstract:
Bentham was an influential thinker with an ‘essentially practical mind’. His influence on British social and political reform, however, was indirect, coming largely after his death and largely through the work of his disciples. Bentham's own attempts to put his ideas directly into practice generally had little effect. He came closest to success in the area of penal policy, winning a contract from Pitt's government in the early 1790s to build and manage a penitentiary that was to be organized on the panopticon principle. Bentham saw the penitentiary as the spearhead of prison reform and as a means of effecting a change from transportation to imprisonment as a punishment for serious crime. While Bentham's use of the panopticon principle itself has attracted most attention in the literature, there was more to his scheme than this. The penitentiary proposals were worked out in great detail, they were a conscious application of his theory of punishment, and they were consistent with and an element of his all-embracing plan of social, political, and constitutional reform.

The article presents a review on Vasil’eva S.A. monograph ““I was in prison and you came to visit me...”: the history of the origin of prison service practice in the Protestant tradition and its influence on the course of prison reform in America, Europe and Russia» given by Nesterova Olga Ivanovna, DSc (History), senior inspector on special assignments of the division of penal legislation, planning and conducting of official inspections of the Legal Department in the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The monograph is devoted to the origin and development of prison service practice in the Protestant tradition and its impact on prison reforms in Europe and America in the XIX century. Through the prism of prison philanthropy societies formation and the Institute of prison chaplains formation in the United Kingdom and the United States, the author explored theological, legal and practical aspects of prison service in the Protestant tradition. Turning to the history of Christian missionaries, who acted long before the penal reforms of the XIX century, the author rethinks the theoretical and methodological content of English penological doctrines. British penitentiary ideology and American practice were extrapolated in the XIX century to all European countries, marking the beginning of the creation of national penitentiary systems in Europe and the Russian Empire. The work analyzes the materials that have not previously been introduced into scientific circulation and not translated into Russian. The monographic study is recommended to historians, theologians, lawyers, specialists in the field of penology, students and graduate students of the Humanities, as well as anyone interested in the history of penitentiary reforms and problems of social history in general.

Selected problems of penitentiary classification in the perception of specialist staffThis paper focuses on the problems of penitentiary classification of particular groups of convicts, which include convicts with mental disorders, addicts, and those suffering from physical health dysfunctions. The conclusions presented in the paper are based on the answers given by specialists doctors, psychologists, therapists, educators employed in prisons. They conclusions can be an incentive for discussion on the reform of the system of putting convicts in prison units appropriate for their needs, which in turn determines the results in terms of therapeutic and penitentiary influence and thus achieving the goals of penalty by convicts.

The history of three Belgian juvenile institutions is presented : the St. Hubert Penitentiary (1840-1921 ), its extension at Namur (1871-1896) and the Girls' Penitentiary at Namur (1864-1896). These institutions are seen in the more general context of the evolution from a reform of offender approach that characterizes the initial period, to an approach that stresses the need to protect youth who become viewed as children in danger in the last part of the century.

Full textAbstract:
Some public administration literature that focuses on public administration reform indulges in constructing grand narrative theories such as New Public Management (NPM), or New Governance (NG). The most recent such theory that has been gaining attention over the past decade is the Neo Weberian State (NWS). The content of the theory with regard to its practical implication when it comes to reform is still unsettled. However, one key assumption behind the NWS is that reforms should be handled with care, as they may undermine the very institutions that have brought Western societies to the levels of their development they are in now. NPM’s drive to increase efficiency, and NG’s – democracy from the point of view of NWS is impossible if reforms deconstruct institutions that ensure the protection of the public interest and rule of law. NWS’s critique of post-communist reform efforts in the new eastern EU member-states is a case in point suggesting that leapfrogging the construction of a professional bureaucracy is ill-advised and does not lead to politically desired outcomes. In this paper we aim to evaluate which path of reform may lead to the best outcomes in a particular area of the public service – two non-military uniformed services of Lithuania – customs and penitentiary. These services have to a large degree avoided sweeping reforms throughout the independence period, in both cases – a soviet institutional legacy is also a factor. Both Customs and the Penitentiary service are suffering from multiple corruption scandals and very low public trust levels. These services are continuously in the crosshairs of reform, but few have been clearly articulated, even less so – implemented. Applying NPM to uniformed services, due to the nature of their functions was complicated, so as reforms in the 1990s and 2000s went along in the other sectors, policy-makers have largely left uniformed to their own devices, and this has led to retrenchment of the bureaucratic principles as would historical institutionalisms theory predict. We suggest that NPM-oriented governance avoids intervention in areas where NPM principles are hard to apply, leaving such areas without proper attention to continue down undesirable development paths. When the deconstruction of a hierarchy appears impossible, higher order governance needs to remain modelled as hierarchy as well. NWS in this case does offer a management modernization agenda, which could keep state institutions in step with social, technological, and economic developments.

The article provides a general analysis of the legal acts regulating the activities of the UK penitentiary, the list and importance for the effective functioning of the UK penitentiary is indicated. The author performed a comparative legal analysis of the main legal acts regulating the penitentiary systems of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The special regulatory framework on the basis of which the penitentiary systems of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales operate is identified and clarified. The list of bodies and officials managing, supervising and controlling the activities of penal institutions in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales has been also determined.
Considerable attention was paid to the description and comparison of the powers of the Secretary of State and the Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons, other officials and authorities of the penitentiary systems of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, which made it possible to distinguish the differences in the powers exercised by them in the territory of each of the described territory. The proposed article, based on the performed comparative legal analysis and the identification of common and distinctive features of the penitentiary systems of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, indicates the ways of potential optimization of the management of the penitentiary system of Ukraine in the context of the reform of the penitentiary system of Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2016 and continues today.
The author proposed a comparative table in the sequence "administrative-territorial unit - bodies that manage, supervise and control the activities of penal institutions - name of the document / number of the article". Based on a comprehensive comparative analysis of the legal framework, a list of common and distinctive (special) features of the management of penitentiary systems in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales was synthesized. A whole spectrum of special, sometimes unique aspects of the functioning of the penitentiary systems of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales was singled out and compared with the peculiarities of the functioning of the penitentiary system of Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
The penitentiary system of the Republic of Moldova has entered a stage of reform since it was transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Justice. For about 20 years under the auspices of the Ministry of Justice, similar to the European penitentiary systems, the national system has been experiencing the same difficulties: a high rate of recidivism, overcrowding in places of detention, an increase in cases of detection of prohibited items and substances in penitentiary institutions, lack of staff and insufficient financial resources. The situation at the national level differs from the general European practice in terms of separate detention of persons sentenced to imprisonment. The penalty of imprisonment is executed in penitentiary institutions of the following types: open, semi-closed, for juveniles (in which conditions correspond to semi-closed penitentiary institutions) and for women, in which the regime of detention corresponds to the regime established for open, semi-closed or closed type of penitentiary institutions, depending on the category of penitentiary institutions assigned by the sentence. The rigidity of the established system is determined by the clear definition in the law of the categories of prisoners and types of penitentiary institutions for serving sentences. It is not allowed to change the type of penitentiary institution. Such a system of imprisonment execution, established by mandatory norms of criminal law, not only creates a problem for the effective implementation of criminal justice (individualization of punishment), but also determines the need to organize three modes of detention in each type of penitentiary institution. Consequently, most penitentiary institutions should have at least 12 separate detention sectors, corresponding to each type of penitentiary and detention regime. At the same time, the problem of choosing the categories of sectors that should be present in a penitentiary institution becomes very relevant. This is due to the fact that the regime of a sentence execution in the form of imprisonment in a penitentiary institution does not consist in simple isolation, but in a regime with a rich content consisting of various aspects of life and activities of convicts during execution of sentences. Based on the results of the study, the author suggests revising the content of the concept “type of penitentiary institution”. This concept should include not only the level of accessibility within the penitentiary institution, but also the restrictions necessary for the detention of persons deprived of their liberty, depending on the assessment of their psychological profile, behavior and individual execution plan.

This study is an analysis of the role educational programming has played in reforming inmates in American correctional institutions between the Jacksonian era and the 1970s. A case study, "Seminary of Virtue" focuses on the educational curriculum at Philadelphia's famed Eastern State Penitentiary, a cutting-edge institution that originated the Pennsylvania System of penal discipline. "Seminary of Virtue" argues that Eastern State Penitentiary's extensive and aggressive educational program reflected a general American belief that correctional institutions should educate inmates as a way of reducing recidivism and thereby "reforming" them. While Americans remained committed to educating inmates, Eastern State's curriculum evolved during its century and a half institutional life. As its emphasis shifted from the religiously oriented "reform" of prisoners in the early nineteenth-century to a medical model of "rehabilitation" a half century later, Eastern State's educational program evolved, shifting from a curriculum of rudimentary literacy skills, religious instruction and an apprenticeship of sorts to industrial education in the mid-nineteenth century and then finally to a traditional academic curriculum in the first third of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1980s and 1990s, the US prison system was expanding at an unprecedented rate. This research charts how prisoners at the nation’s largest maximum-security prison, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly referred to as Angola, founded the Angola Special Civics Project to collectively organize for prison reform. Using a combination of oral history and archival research, this thesis argues that the Angola Special Civics Project emerged during an era of political opportunity created by the coupling of political openings and contractions. Unlike outside advocates who focused their reform efforts on internal conditions, the Angola Special Civics Project centering of prisoners’ experiential knowledge led them to organize for an end to life sentencing through a combination of research, political education, electoral organizing, and coalition building. This thesis further asserts that their organizing should be conceptualized as a form of prison abolitionist reforms.

Relationships with dearest affections constitute an important resource not only "in the detention process, during which they constitute a focal point of contact with external society", but also "immediately, with affective and material assistance to the private person of the freedom". In fact, it is of intuitive importance that a valid conservation, even the recovery, of the emotional network constitutes an important indicator of the success possibility of the condemned rehabilitation .
How much affectivity plays in this re-education process is one of the objectives that this research proposes.This work tries also to develop a legislation for an evolution of that "minimum acceptable contact" concept between prisoners and family members which, as some international acts recall, must be regulated by visiting methods capable of favoring the maintenance and development of family relationships that are as normal as possible, also to protect the detainee's family.

This study aims to deconstruct prison in historical and political terms. For that purpose, it avails itself of concepts that mark its thresholds, limits and tipping points. The dissertation s major underlying question is: How does an institution so criticized, reviled and slandered such as prison is able to endure for so long, thrive more and more, and show so much resilience? Prison s ability to pick itself up and continually expand even after being denounced and accused of major and minor failures is something that brings about a measure of reverence for the deed and a bit of uncertainty about the phenomenon. That is enough to provoke a lot of interest and a significant number of suspicions. The utmost care was taken to think outside the box herein. With regard to prison, that means challenging reform. Thus, this paper cannot have any commitment to the State s pressing needs. But -- how so? Well, from what has been scribbled on prisons so far, few are those records that can brag about not being reform manuals or a political institution s moralizing guide. Such writings even have a course of action very similar to the works that drive away readers because of the tedium they emanate: 1) they comply with a timeline; 2) they go back to ancient times when everything was, in the nitwits opinion, more barbaric, raw and stupid; and 3) they reach our days, a moment of relief for the evil which was left behind mixed with a disappointment for what could have been performed a lot better. So, they go on to analyze the minutia of every single failure in the several manifestations of the phenomenon in question; they begin the swarm of advices to governments and authorities, who someday may acquire enough judgment to direct individuals without excesses or wastes, in the full force of the law. Evolution, investigation, recommendation. Beginning, middle and ending of the works on prison reform. That is when this paper, spurred by the verification of these discourses common matrix, decides to frighten away its own yawning by jumping up and down, demarcating topics and subjects in the examination s progression-regression-perdition, while it averts the boring, flat time so that it is able to go ahead, come back and lose itself when necessary. Throughout its trajectory, it sought to dig an abyss between that science which provides a doctoral assistance to govern, control and master better and that knowledge which only announces its own design by sliding among doubts and queries under an avalanche of problems upon problems
Este estudo visa desconstruir a prisão em termos histórico-políticos. Para tal, lança mão de conceitos que marcam seus limiares, limites e pontos de inflexão. A grande pergunta nas entrelinhas da dissertação é: De que maneira uma instituição tão criticada, vilipendiada e difamada como a prisão consegue durar tanto, prosperar cada vez mais e demonstrar tamanha resiliência? Essa capacidade da prisão de se reerguer e expandir continuamente mesmo após ter sido denunciada e acusada de fracassos pequenos e grandes é algo que suscita certa medida de reverência pela proeza e um bocado de incerteza acerca do fenômeno. Só isso já é o bastante para despertar não pouco interesse e uma série expressiva de suspeitas. Nesta dissertação, tomou-se o maior cuidado para poder pensar fora da bitola. No tocante à prisão, isso quer dizer contestar a reforma. Destarte, este trabalho não pode possuir compromisso nenhum com as premências do Estado. Mas - como assim? Ora, do que se escrevinhou sobre as prisões até agora, são parcos os registros que podem se gabar de não serem manuais de reforma nem guias de moralização de uma instituição política. Tais escritos possuem até mesmo uma maneira de proceder muito parecida com a das obras que afastam o leitor pelo tédio que emanam: 1) obedecem a uma linha do tempo; 2) remontam aos idos da Antigüidade, em que tudo era, na opinião dos mais mentecaptos, mais bárbaro, cru e burro; e 3) chegam até os dias atuais, um momento de alívio pelo mal deixado para trás misturado com a decepção pelo que poderia ter sido muito mais bem executado. Então, passam a esmiuçar toda e qualquer falha nas diversas manifestações do fenômeno em questão; iniciam o enxame de conselhos a governos e autoridades, que talvez um dia adquiram o juízo necessário para dirigirem os indivíduos sem excessos nem desperdícios, tudo no rigor da lei. Evolução, apuração, recomendação. Princípio, meio e fim das obras sobre a reforma das prisões. Eis que este trabalho, aguilhoado pela constatação da matriz comum desses discursos, resolve espantar o próprio bocejar aos saltos, delimitando temas e tópicos na progressão-regressão-perdição do exame, ao passo que conjura o tempo chato e achatado para assim poder ir, voltar e se extraviar quando necessário. Ao longo de toda a sua trajetória, procurou cavar um abismo entre a ciência que fornece assessoria doutoral para governar, controlar e amestrar melhor e o conhecimento que somente anuncia o próprio desígnio deslizando entre dúvidas e interrogações, sob uma avalanche de problemas sobre problemas

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the role that chattel slavery played in shaping a system of for-profit incarcerations in Louisiana between 1803 and 1862. In doing so, it challenges the conventional historical narrative of American penal development, which identifies the origins of the prison industrial complex in the decades following the abolition of slavery in the United States. Scholars have already contended that the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude ‘except as a punishment for crime’, facilitated the constitutional reinstitution of enslavement in American corrections systems. This thesis reveals that this relationship between slavery and imprisonment extends back further. It argues that, in pre-Civil War Louisiana, chattel slavery and the prison were mutually reinforcing institutions, and each, being market-oriented, shaped the other. In its exploration of this relationship, this thesis contributes to the history of penal reform and imprisonment, and to the history of American slavery. It also joins the history of the state with that of early American capitalism. To tell this story, this thesis incorporates new interpretations of sources used in previous studies (for example, Supreme Court records, census returns, and runaway slave advertisements), with insights gleaned from new types of primary material, such as jailers’ log books, receipts, and financial accounting records. This thesis begins in the decades following the U.S. Purchase of 1803, as Louisiana transitioned from a European colony to an American state. During this time, penal reforms gradually led to the replacement of an array of public corporal punishments with a system of mass incarceration that would ultimately fuse Enlightenment-inspired ideals with the moneymaking imperatives of the market revolution. Opening in 1835, a new state penitentiary complex in Baton Rouge, together with an expansive network of rural parish prisons, police jails, and urban workhouses, was deployed by local law enforcement agencies and slaveholders for the control and discipline of enslaved men, women, and children. But even while the state’s penal system served both public justice and private slaveholder rule, incarcerations’ costs mounted. And in the aftermath of a transatlantic panic in 1837, as the Lower Mississippi Valley plunged into financial depression, a demand for institutional economy steered Louisiana’s prisons into the free market. Beset by market shifts and fluctuations in labour and commodity prices, jailers and state authorities saw an economic solution to incarcerations’ costs in the uniquely fungible condition of enslaved prisoners. They capitalised on this in grim ways. Keepers of crowded, filthy prisons collected fees for confining, punishing, and selling African American inmates. Many also pressed inmates into labour in prison factories and state-sponsored chain gangs. In the latter, enslaved prisoners built the infrastructure that supported Louisiana’s commercial expansion. But as the prison emerged as an important centre of economic production, it was also transformed into a site of struggle, as African American inmates resisted the double burden of enslavement and incarceration.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2018

Full textAbstract:
This practicum explores potential for a new prison typology for federally sentenced women within Canada. The Koza Centre is an alternative to designs and practices currently in place that have the potential to create barriers to successful rehabilitation and reintegration.
The primary intention of this work is to understand the issues and needs that are shared by many women who have come into conflict with the law and respond with an appropriate design. The methodology for this includes a brief history of women’s imprisonment in Canada and current political contexts, an analytical framework focused on overall well-being, and precedent studies. From this, programming and strategies have been developed that inform an evidence-based design.
The result is a design focused on rehabilitation through the building of healthy relationships, ties to the community, programming that fosters successful reintegration, and supportive interior design that facilitates the well-being of those within the space.February 2016

Full textAbstract:
The use of solitary confinement in prisons became common with the rise of the modern penitentiary during the first half of the nineteenth century and his since remained a feature of many prison systems all over the world. Solitary confinement is used for a panoply of different reasons although research tells us that these practices have widespread negative health effects. Besides the death penalty, it is arguably the most punitive and dangerous intervention available to state authorities in democratic nations. Nevertheless, in the United States there are currently an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 prisoners in small cells for more than 22 hours per day with little or no social contact and no physical contact visits with family or friends. Even in Scandinavia, thousands of prisoners are placed in solitary confinement every year and with an alarming frequency. These facts have spawned international interest in this topic and a growing international reform movement, which includes researchers, litigators, and human rights defenders as well as prison staff and prisoners. This book is the first to take a broad international comparative approach and to apply an interdisciplinary lens to this subject. In this volume neuroscientists, high-level prison officials, social and political scientists, medical doctors, lawyers, and former prisoners and their families from different countries will address the effects and practices of prolonged solitary confinement and the movement for its reform and abolition.

Full textAbstract:
The article consists of two intertwined sections. In the first, I intend to reconstruct the processes of political and social transformation that took place in Lucca under the actions of Bishops Berengar (837-843) and Ambrose (843-852): foreigners appointed in succession by the Court. In order to do this, I will take the viewpoint offered by the numerous private charters preserved in the Archivio Storico Diocesano of Lucca. Secondly, I will present the first results of a study on the manuscripts of the same period preserved there – an heritage not yet fully explored and appreciated. I will focus in particular on the most-recently entered text in ms 490: the so-called Dicta Gelasii papae. It was written in a Carolingian hand that Armando Petrucci has compared to that of Bishop Berengar. The text constitutes an exceptional insight into the turmoil that animated the sacred palace after the «penitential reform» of 813, and which spread throughout the Empire within a general movement of correctio.

Abstract In this concluding chapter, the author extends out from ground-level ethnographic insights to situate the prison fieldsite, Sunbelt State Penitentiary, in its broader political-economic context. It describes historical evolutions in American penology from the old penology of emphasizing crime control through the new penology of prioritizing population control, culminating in the present day’s neoliberal approach to penal punishment and labor. Finally, the chapter presents three possible changes to address issues in contemporary punishment institutions. The prescriptions for change offered here are guided by the insights of imprisoned workers themselves. These range from incremental reform-based approaches to pathways toward more radical transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Initially, solitary confinement was introduced as a reform by which to correct the inhumane conditions of existing correctional institutions of the late 1700s and the early 1800s. Though these facilities were able to separate the criminal element from law abiding society, it was much less effective in addressing the various medical, physical and psychological harms generally inflicted on these incarcerated populations. As a rehabilitative strategy, solitary confinement was believed to provide the necessary degree of social isolation, by which to evoke a true contrition for one’s social sins. However, by the late 1800s, the support for the continued rehabilitative utility of these practices was quickly falling out of favour. Since the early 1900s, solitary confinement has been exclusively employed as a strategy of rationalized retribution; the advent of supermax confinement has merely expanded this punitive strategy and applied to the functional rationale of entire institutions.

This chapter discusses the issue on religious liberty that drove Joseph Smith into the 1844 presidential election. It explains how Joseph Smith wrapped his call for a federal government that is empowered to protect the citizenship rights of religious minority groups in a seven-point platform aimed at sweeping political and social reform. It also describes how Joseph Smith advocated for the reestablishment of the national bank, the end of the burgeoning penitentiary system, the territorial expansion of the United States throughout North America, and the abolition of slavery. The chapter investigates how newspapers focused on Joseph Smith as a leader of a rising religious group that deemed to be fanatical by mainstream Protestants. It discusses the ecclesiastical position of Joseph Smith's presidential candidacy that might influence the way the American public viewed him.

Full textAbstract:
The conclusion argues that France’s Catholic Reformation benefitted from reform efforts initiated in Italy and Spain but was most profoundly shaped by France’s experience of religious war. The movement’s origins lay in the perceived need both to fight the spread of Protestant ideas and to raise standards of clerical behavior. Summarizing the diverse ways in which religious communities responded to the challenges of heresy and civil war, the conclusion further argues that the old religious orders, which had suffered greatly in the conflicts, found themselves at a serious disadvantage when wealthy elites shifted their patronage at the wars’ end to the new reformed congregations, whose penitential fervor and rigorous asceticism had captured their imagination. The new congregations grew at a rapid pace, while the old orders struggled to overcome wartime debts and destruction, fought to determine what reforms to enact, and pressured recalcitrant members to accept their programs for change.

Full textAbstract:
King Henri III brought the reformed Cistercian congregation of Feuillants to Paris in 1587 out of admiration for the penitential piety of the congregation’s founder and abbot, Jean de La Barrière. Yet within two years, the Paris monks had rebelled against both their abbot’s royalist politics and the strict asceticism of his reform. Left in charge of the Paris house when La Barrière returned to Feuillants, Bernard de Montgaillard led the Paris monks to join the rebellion against Henri III, known as the Holy League, at the same time that they fought to free themselves from their abbot’s control. The chapter traces the parallels between the monks’ revolt against monastic absolutism and the city’s revolt against its monarch. Analyzing their claims to be perfecting—and not rejecting—the Feuillant reform by returning to their order’s original purity, it illuminates ongoing debates about the nature and ends of monastic reform.

At the urging of Gracián, Teresa de Ávila (de Jesús) founded a convent in Seville, naming María de San José its prioress. In so doing, Teresa disobeyed the orders of the Carmelite General, Juan Bautista Rubeo, who had only given her permission to found in Castile. Enraged, Rubeo convened a chapter in Piacenza at which Teresa was ordered to remain in one convent in Castile and make no further foundations. Felipe [Filippo] Sega, the papal Nuncio, took the side of those who opposed the Discalced expansion into Andalusia. In the meantime, María had to cope with a disgruntled nun who denounced her to the Inquisition, and an overzealous confessor named Garciálvarez, who subjected nuns to excessive penitential practices.

В статье рассматриваются некоторые проблемы и спорные моменты, возникающие в деятельности уголовно-исполнительных инспекций при исполнении наказания в виде ограничения свободы с учетом региональной специфики Чеченской Республики. Среди проблем автор выделяет отсутствие доверия и пониженную активность взаимодействия граждан с правоохранительными органами, что приводит к значительному повышению уровня преступности в регионе. В статье также рассматриваются такие спорные моменты, как запрет на уход из дома в определенное время суток, запрет на посещение определенных мест и мероприятий, необходимость регистрироваться в УИИ от трех раз в месяц и др. Отмечается общее несовершенство системы надзора за лицами, осужденными к ограничению свободы, и аргументируется необходимость ее дальнейшего реформирования. The article examines some of the problems and controversial issues that arise in the activities of criminal executive inspectorates during the execution of punishment in the form of restriction of freedom, taking into account the regional specifics of the Chechen Republic. Among the problems, the author highlights the lack of trust and the reduced activity of interaction between citizens and law enforcement agencies, which leads to a significant increase in the level of crime in the region. The article also discusses such controversial issues as a ban on leaving home at a certain time of the day, a ban on visiting certain places and events, the need to register with the penitentiary institution three times a month, etc. The general imperfection of the system of supervision over persons sentenced to restriction freedom, and the need for its further reform is argued.
