“…These temporary places were mostly situated in basement floors of fortresses, basements of khans, shipyards, administrative buildings, or residences of leading people in the cities. 3 A common feature in current history surveys 4 on prisons of this period is that they all draw attention to the lack of previous historical and architectural history studies carried out in this field. The studies of historians such as Gültekin Yıldız and Ufuk Adak are important since they shed light on the reforms carried out in the Ottoman criminal system during the 19 th century and its spatial reflection from historians' point of view.…”

“…In his ground-breaking book, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, Michel Foucault draw an outline on the history of prisons, penal structure and their role in the social system and reveals the cultural shifts led to the control of prison through the body and power. 3 Bozkaya, 2014; Şen, 2007 4 Like other structures designed in the 19 th century, the Ottoman prisons of the era of Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1876-1909) stand out as an area that has only recently begun to be studied and discussed. Since the historical narration on 19 th century Ottoman architecture has been constructed on a very well established, traditional scholarship which is based on the paradigm of westernization and decline, it is believed that the decline of the empire was reflected in the quality of the buildings.…”

“…The first of these is the proposal given by the architect George Stampa in 1869 for Sultanahmet Central Prison[Kuruyazıcı, 2001]. The second one is the İzmir Central Prison, the construction of which was started in 1873, and which was demolished in 1959[Adak, 2015 and2017]. The third one is the undated Ankara Central Prison project, the construction of which was planned, yet not realized[Sezer 2020].…”

This study aims to investigate three architectural projects proposed for constructing a central prison inside the Yedikule Fortress in Istanbul during the end of the 19th c. Ottoman State assigned the famous architects of the era for this mission such as August Jasmund, Alexandre Vallaury, and Kemaleddin. The narration on the projects shows that there was a strong intention for constructing a central prison in the capital of Ottoman Empire as a sign of success for the overall penalty and prison reform that was one of the main goals for Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1876-1909). The interpretation of these distinctive projects is significant since this interpretation helps us both to understand the transformation of the criminal justice spaces of the Ottoman Empire and to provide a new perspective for reading 19th c. Ottoman architecture.

Bu çalışmada Osmanlı Devleti’nin belirli bir tarih kesitindeki kadın mahkumların firar, af örnekleri ve hapishane süreçleri ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda, kadın hapishanelerinin ortaya çıkışı ve genel durumu, bu kurumlarda yaşanan firar olaylarının sebepleri ve bunlara ne gibi önlemler alındığı incelenmiştir. Hapishanelerin genel durumunun yanında kadın mahkumların af talepleri araştırılmış, bu taleplere verilen cevaplar irdelenmiştir. Kaynak olarak öncelikle Osmanlı Arşivi’nde bulunan firar ve af belgeleri incelenerek kadın mahkumlara özel olarak çıkarılan aflar ve firar olayları derlenmiş; ayrıca konuya yönelik daha önce yapılmış olan akademik literatür incelenmiştir.

ÖzMahkûm bedeni, disipliner bir total kurum olan cezaevinde mekân içinde farklı bir mekân olarak belirmekte, ceza hukuku, nizamnameler ve biyo-politikalarla etkileşime girilen bir müzakere zemini olarak konumlanmaktadır. 1941 yılında çıkan Ceza ve Tevkif Evleri Nizamnamesi üzerinde yoğunlaşan bu makalede Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi'nde cezaevlerinde disipliner pratikler bağlamında farklı bir mekânsallığı temsil eden mahkûm bedeni, Nazım Hikmet, Necip Fazıl ve Aziz Nesin gibi yazar ve şairlerin cezaevi günceleri, mektupları İmralı Cezaevi Müdürü olan İbrahim Saffet Omay'ın metinleri temelinde irdelenmektedir.Burada Michel Foucault'nun disiplin, Erving Goffman'ın total kurumlarda sembolik etkileşim, Marshall McLuhan'ın akustik mekân kavramı, David Le Breton'un ten/deri ve bireyin kendi kendini yaralaması üzerine geliştirdiği düşüncelerden oluşan bir kuramsal çerçeveden hareketle söz konusu mekânlarda total kurumun bedene yönelik öngördüğü disipliner uygulamalar ile yaşanan/karşılaşılan durumlar arasındaki AbstractThis article examines the body of prisoners within the context of disciplinary practices in prisons in Early Republican Turkey spanning the years 1923 to 1953. It deals with topics such as the discourse of correction and social rehabilitation in prisons; the rites of passage, symbolic and physical intervention on bodies of inmates during confinement; the relationship among space, everyday objects and prisoners; the perception of physical, social and acoustic space; the degrees of isolation of body as a space; the transgressive, destructive and self-destructive impulses among inmates as a strategy of negotiation and survival. Concentrating on the directory of prisons of 1941 and some of the texts by the director of Imralı Prison Ibrahim Saffet Omay on the one hand, referring to the diaries and letters of the authors and poets such as Aziz Nesin, Nazım Hikmet, Necip Fazıl on the other hand, the article tries to answer questions such as how the prisoners' body and self-perception were conditioned by the total institution during disciplinary practices, how the symbolic interaction took place among the subject/object body, power, space, other inmates and staff in prisons, how and to what degree the regulations and rules could be put into effect, how the discrepancy between legal definition and real conditions in prisons could be interpreted. Using concepts such as the discipline by Michel Foucault, symbolic interaction by Erving Goffman, acoustic space by Marshall McLuhan and symbolic meaning of skin and wound by David Le Breton as a theoretical framework, it provides a critical discourse analysis of that period on a polyphonic basis. It will be argued here that the body of prisoner was considered metaphorically as a space within the space that was physically, spatially, psychologically, socially as well as culturally constructed, reorganized, negotiated, positioned and constantly reshaped through process of symbolic interaction within total institution, penal system, power relations and a series of social actors.
