Document Summary
Chapter 12 corrections in canada: history, facilities, and populations. Highest incarceration rates are in the northwest territories (726), nunavut (553), yukon (355) and manitoba (248) Lowest are in nova scotia (63), british columbia (66), newfoundland and. Manitoba has the highest count of adults in custody (incarceration rates) People were mainly imprisoned for: 1) holding people in custody as they await trial or if they were convicted, they are awaiting their sentence, 2) forcing fine defaulters and debtors to pay back what they owed. May be due to the work of reforms (referred to as the whig view) who wanted to create a more humanitarian form of punishment. Others (revisionist views) argue it was due to the advent of industrial capitalism, a response to a crisis in class relations brought by the industrial. Revolution, or an attempt to create a more disciplined society.
