Description
English: Mercer Reformatory (Toronto, Canada). A growing awareness that female prisoners had different needs than male prisoners led to the establishment of the first prison for women in Canada in 1874. The objective of the Andrew Mercer Reformatory was to create a homelike atmosphere for its female inmates and to teach them the skills necessary to lead a decent life once their sentence expired. The training offered was intended to instill feminine Victorian virtues such as obedience and servility. Demolished in late 1969, it is now the site of Lamport Stadium.
Français : Maison de correction Andrew Mercer (Toronto, Canada). Une prise de conscience grandissante des différences entre les besoins des prisonniers de sexe masculin et de sexe féminin a mené à l'ouverture, en 1874, de la première prison pour femmes au Canada. Les responsables de la maison de correction Andrew Mercer, à Toronto, promettaient de créer au profit des prisonnières une ambiance familiale et de leur enseigner toutes les compétences nécessaires pour qu'elles puissent mener une vie décente une fois leur sentence purgée. La formation offerte visait à inspirer chez les femmes les vertus féminines victoriennes telles que l'obéissance et la servilité.
