Description
Summary:Throughout the Algerian War of independence, dozens of political detainees were subjected to psychiatric hospitalization after being jailed or interned. By looking at conditions for hospitalizing individuals brought from camps and prisons, this article seeks to highlight how the psychiatric institution deals with the requirements and practices of prison and internment camps between 1954 and 1962.
