 ion and research\; creating a prison medical service in Victorian Englan
 d\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn the nineteenth century English prisons became place
 s of punishment and reform\, following the end of transportation (1853).
  These new institutions were officially nationalised in 1877 but it took
  some time to establish a coherent and functional system. The new prison
  service called for a new kind of professional medical service\, which h
 ad to find its place within the prison system and medical establishment.
  This paper will provide an analysis of the emergence of the prison as o
 ne of the first nationalised health institutions in England. The prison 
 has been over-looked as a place of medical research and practice largely
  thanks to the work of Foucault characterising the prisons as places of 
 ‘discipline and punishment’ (1975). This paper will show that prisons we
 re places of medical and psychiatric treatment and study as well as disc
 ipline and punishment. Using case studies of individual prison medical o
 fficers\, it will be argued that medical officers contributed greatly to
  the character of the institution in enforcing discipline whilst advanci
 ng contemporary medicine and performing their duty of care.
