  What prisons for Haiti?

  Ce colloque international entend susciter un débat sur le carcéral et plus généralement sur la pénalité haïtienne, autant dans sa spécificité que dans une perspective comparative. L’objectif fondamental des discussions est de faire le point sur l’état actuel de la connaissance pour détecter les questions qui demeurent inexplorées, celles qui sont encore mal comprises ou erronées, et celles pour lesquelles la recherche a fourni une réponse satisfaisante. Le comité scientifique invite donc à proposer des contributions originales exposant des études de terrain, études de cas ou retours d’expériences ainsi que des réflexions plus larges sur les enjeux de l’enfermement en Haïti. C’est donc à un dialogue des disciplines, des méthodes et des perspectives théoriques pour améliorer notre compréhension de cette institution centrale dans le projet de construction / consolidation de l’État de droit haïtien que nous vous convions.

  Prisons, Prisoners and Prison Records in Historical Perspective

  The rise of the prison as an institution of mass incarceration for offenders has for long fascinated researchers. In part, this is due to the unusually detailed nature of most prison records. The wide availability of somewhat similar sources across diverse European and European-derived societies provides criminologists, social and economic historians, demographers and other social scientists with rich collections of personal information that have been analysed intensively since the 1970s. The increasing power of software and hardware and the accumulation of very large quantities of prison data, some of it linked to other sources, offers challenges and opportunities for researchers today. The workshop responds to the challenge of harnessing criminal justice records by bringing together scholars in different disciplines and countries to share information about their sources, methodologies of classification and analysis, and to reconceptualize research paradigms.
