PRISON LAW
This topic deals with the laws governing corrections and correctional institutions. Jurisdiction
is shared between the federal government (who have responsibility for penitentiaries) and the
provinces (prisons and jails). More can be found on this topic in the areas of penology, crim-
inology, and sociology than in law. Related topics: CRIMINAL LAW, SENTENCING, YOUNG
OFFENDERS.
CARCÉRAL
On traite ici du système dans l’ensemble et des droits des prisonniers. Rappelons que la Loi
constitionnelle de 1867 partage les competences entre le fédéral (pénitenciers, peine de plus
de 2 ans) et les provinces (prisons, peines inférieures à 2 ans). Les grands ouvrages de droit
criminel ou de droit pénal abordent parfois ces questions. Devant la pauvreté relative des réfé-
rences, on élargira la recherche à la criminologie en général ; pour les peines et les sentences,
voir : SENTENCES.
