«КРАЙ ИЗГНАНИЯ НЕПРИВЕТНЫЙ»: НЕКОТОРЫЕ ОСОБЕННОСТИ СОДЕРЖАНИЯ ЖЕНЩИН В ТЮРЬМАХ ТАВРИЧЕСКОЙ ГУБЕРНИИ СЕРЕДИНЫ XIX – НАЧАЛА ХХ ВЕКА

Abstract

The article examines the features of keeping women prisoners in the prisons of the Tauride province in the mid-19th - early 20th century. The problems of keeping prisoners in detention centers and prison castles are highlighted and described. The article uses subsequently introduced into scientific circulation, previously unpublished documents concerning the inspections of prisons in the Tauride province. Implementation of criminal responsibility in the Russian Empire in the mid-19th - early 20th century was carried out by sending prisoners to jails, arrest houses, correctional prison departments, however, until the beginning of the twentieth century. Despite the stable increase in female crime, there were very few female representatives in places of imprisonment. At the moment, science is looking for solutions that can improve the quality of the penitentiary system in relation to women. In this regard, it is especially relevant to study the characteristics of female prison detention in retrospect. There are currently no sources that would provide a full picture of the social well-being of women in prisons and detention centers in the Tauride province, which in turn makes research on this issue relevant. The reconstruction of a woman's position, as well as her social well-being in prison, is based on all-Russian studies, which provide fragmentary information about certain aspects.
