Today's women's prisons are not only clean and tidy with a good atmosphere, they even provide a place for female prisoners to study and train. Prisons in the Qing Dynasty were a nightmare for all female prisoners. There are rumors that prisons in the Qing Dynasty were even more terrifying than hell. Some Female prisoners even bluntly said that they would not go to prison even if they died. Why are these female prisoners so afraid of prison?
Prisons in the Qing Dynasty did not distinguish between male and female prisons. Instead, male and female prisoners lived together. The female prisoners living in the prison had a difficult life every day. They were always violated or beaten by male prisoners. In order to avoid the harassment of male prisoners Female prisoners would be beaten, and the female prisoners would even exchange their bodies with the jailers. Otherwise, they would be framed or beaten by the jailers. In ancient China, the distinction between male and female was very serious, but it was still a national prison anyway. Why do such chaotic situations keep emerging? Female prisoners always experience violence from male prisoners. Moreover, the number of female prisoners at that time was relatively small, and there was not so much money to build a prison specifically for female prisoners. The status of prisoners is inherently very important. How could such a humble person really build a women's prison alone?
It was really not good that such situations always occurred in prisons at that time, because at that time the Qing Dynasty mainly believed in Confucianism . In order to gain some face for itself, the Qing government ordered that male and female prisoners be distinguished and resolutely not to let male and female prisoners live together. Although An order was issued at the beginning but no real action was taken. On the contrary, the more serious the rumors about the cruelty of the prison became, it would also have a certain impact on the deterrence of the people, so they were not prepared to build a women's prison from the beginning.
Unfortunately, female prisoners and male prisoners live in the same prison. The life of female prisoners is miserable. They have no choice but to let male and female prisoners live in different prison rooms. Although the harm caused by male prisoners to female prisoners has been reduced, some guards will also cause harm to women. Bad idea. When some jailers were in a bad mood, they would come to the female prisoners' room and beat and insult them. The Qing government then decided to replace the male jailers and let old men take over the jailer's job because the old man was older than ordinary jailers. It is much older, and the temper is not so bad. It will definitely not hurt the female prisoners, but the number of female prisoners is gradually increasing. The old man does not have that much energy to be a jailer, so he built a women's prison specifically for women. The former male prisoners The jailer has now been replaced by a female jailer.
The Qing government at that time also deliberately protected women who committed crimes. If the woman committed a very minor mistake, she could rehabilitate herself without going to prison. If she was sent to prison in the end, her family could also let her go. After being led back from prison, some women not only do not have to suffer in prison, they are even rehabilitated and learn some skills to make a living. It is precisely because of the increasingly strict management that the situation of female prisoners will gradually ease, but You must know that the strengthening of management is just a whim. When the tension passes, female prisoners will still be bullied. If the family of a female prisoner is powerful and will send some gifts to the jailer, then the life of the female prisoner in the prison can be very nourishing. If the female prisoner The poor families have no one to send money to, so in prison female prisoners not only have to be crowded into a prison with more than 20 to 30 other people, but they basically don’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes every day.
Female prisoners in the prison have suffered so much humiliation. If they want to survive, they can only endure the humiliation. According to relevant records, we learned that the guards inside do not treat the female prisoners as human beings at all. In addition to beating, scolding and humiliating them every day, they Even if the female prisoners were sick, no one would take care of them. All that was waiting for them was to die slowly.
If you want to survive in this prison, you must work hard to please the jailers, because many jailers are single, and many women look down on the jailers, because being a jailer basically does not get any salary, and a jailer without a wife We can only extend our evil claws to female prisoners. Most female prisoners are imprisoned in cells because of indiscretion. Some government officials will have evil thoughts towards female prisoners. This is what happens to female prisoners after entering the prison. If female prisoners are obedient, not only You can avoid the pain of your skin and flesh, and you can even live well.
Due to the harsh environment of the prison, it is common for female prisoners to get sick. For disobedient female prisoners, the government officials will use illness as an excuse to kill her, and they will not pursue the life and death of these female prisoners. In order to make money, women The jailer even forced the female prisoners to sell themselves. It can be said that everyone in the prison has released the most evil side of their hearts. The social status of female prisoners is very low, and no one will respect them at all, because they think that good women will never In prison, the guards always bully female prisoners as bad women.
Are female prisoners really guilty? In fact, this is not necessarily the case, because in ancient times, crimes were jointly and severally liable. It may be that a lover or relative was arrested and imprisoned and was implicated. However, as long as they enter the prison, the guards will think that they have made a mistake. In fact, more female prisoners are imprisoned unjustly. , women who are powerless cannot change anything. They can only let the powerful punish and beat them. The current treatment of female prisoners is already very good. What do you think?
