Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article analyses the detention regime of those incarcerated in Aiud penitentiary between 1939 and 1941. This study combines qualitative and quantitative analysis to investigate on one hand the conditions of cells (clothing, medical assistance, hygiene, and diet) and, on the other hand, the prison staff, the penal division, the distribution of work and the administrative staff and security. The research is innovative because it is based on the reports that the prosecutors produced during the inspections, which were discovered in the initial funds of the Alba Tribunal Prosecutor’s Office.
