Abstract

A society without norms does not exist, just as norms that are not violated do not exist as well. The reaction of society to violation of basic norms on which it itself is based largely depends on the epoch, that is, on the value core on which the society itself is based. Imprisonment has always existed, but it has changed drastically throughout history - from imprisonment without purpose and meaning, alongside torment and suffering, to modern forms of deprivation of liberty and modern prisons. The ideological revolution has changed the value basis of society, thus changing all the norms that had arisen from such values. The perception and expectations of punishment have changed and, from the 18th and 19th centuries onwards, a new concept of prison as an institution of control, correction, or resocialization has been developing. Prison has ceased to be perceived as hell on earth and became an instrument of society's influence on those who dare to violate social norms. This paper follows this evolution, that is, the development of prisons and the idea of imprisonment from holes and dungeons to modern penitentiaries.
监狱的诞生:观念的演变
没有规范的社会是不存在的,正如没有被违反的规范也不存在一样。社会对违反其赖以存在的基本规范的反应在很大程度上取决于时代,即社会赖以存在的价值核心。监禁一直存在,但它在历史上发生了巨大的变化——从没有目的和意义的监禁,伴随着折磨和痛苦,到现代形式的剥夺自由和现代监狱。思想革命改变了社会的价值基础,从而改变了由这些价值基础产生的一切规范。对惩罚的看法和期望已经发生了变化,从18世纪和19世纪开始,监狱作为控制、矫正或再社会化机构的新概念一直在发展。监狱已不再被视为人间地狱,而成为社会对那些敢于违反社会规范的人施加影响的工具。本文跟随这一演变,即监狱和监禁观念的发展,从洞穴和地牢到现代监狱。
