L'interdiction de fumer en établissement de détention canadien : le vécu des hommes incarcérés
The present study aims to understand how inmates have adjusted to a total ban on smoking in Canadian prisons. From qualitative interviews conducted with seventeen men detained in various detention facilities in Canada, we analyzed the experiences of inmates subject to the new regulations. It appears from our analyzes that tobacco allows inmates to lessen the suffering associated with imprisonment, which leads the individual and collective adaptation to circumvent the smoking policy. In addition, the tobacco regulation has a significant impact on the total character of penal institutions. The loss of a right that was acquired over several decades has created an increase in control measures, deprivation and tensions within the prison.
