摘要

19世纪20年代,被监禁的工人在哈德逊河和一个石灰岩采石场之间建造了新新监狱。监狱的名字让人想起了这里的征服和殖民遗产,而1812年的战争则成为了新新监狱这样的大型监狱的催化剂,在那里,监禁将被劳动、暴力和胁迫所塑造。在战争期间,英国和美国都把俘虏关押在北美和英国的大型监狱里。英国和美国的军事监狱最初被设想为早期监狱船的人道替代品,但很快就变成了恐吓和暴力的场所。不久之后,战争的文化记忆帮助重塑了在新新监狱监禁的意义和经历。这导致包括战争老兵在内的监狱倡导者在不完全反对监狱的情况下,拒绝了早期监狱倡导者的宗教理想主义。

Sintsincks to Sing Sing: Empire, the War of 1812, and the Transformation of U.S. Prisons
abstract:In the 1820s, incarcerated workers constructed Sing Sing Prison between the Hudson River and a limestone quarry. The prison’s name evoked the site’s legacy of conquest and colonization, while the War of 1812 served as a catalyst for large prisons like Sing Sing where confinement would be shaped by labor, violence, and coercion. During the war, both the British and the United States held captives in large prison complexes in North America and England. Initially envisioned as humane alternatives to earlier prison ships, British and U.S. military prisons soon became sites of intimidation and violence. Soon after, the cultural memory of the war helped reshape the meaning and experience of incarceration at Sing Sing. This led prison advocates, including veterans of the war, to reject the religious idealism of earlier prison advocates without rejecting prisons altogether.
