چکیده

Hong Kong was widely regarded as a colonial enclave in which the lash and the rattan were usedfar more frequently than in any other part of the world. This article shows that the custodialsentence never entirely superseded corporal punishment: the idea that legal sanctions shoulddeter rather than reform was widespread among both European and Chinese communities inHong Kong, and both favoured a punitive approach towards the criminal. Prisoners were initiallylocked up together in common cells while awaiting transportation, a practice which becamemore common as practical problems prevented the use of existing modes of punishment, inparticular transportation, branding and the use of a hulk ship. This article analyses the gradualtransformation of the prison from a site of deterrence to a place of reformation in the nineteenthcentury. Hong Kong était généralement considérée comme une enclave coloniale où le fouet et le rotinétaient beaucoup plus fréquemment employés que partout au monde. Cet article montre quel’emprisonnement ne prit jamais complètement le pas sur les châtiments corporels. L’idée selonlaquelle la sanction pénale devait dissuader plutôt qu’amender était très répandue parmi lesEuropéens et les Chinois de Hong Kong, et les deux groupes étaient favorables à une attitudepunitive à l’égard des criminels. Initialement, les prisonniers étaient encellulés collectivementdans l’attente de leur transportation; cette pratique se répandit lorsque des difficultés pratiquesprévinrent l’utilisation des châtiments habituels, comme la transportation, la marque et l’emploide bateaux-prisons. Cet article analyse la transformation graduelle de la prison, au XIXe siècle, delieu de dissuasion qu’elle était, en lieu d’amendement.
