This thesis seeks to evaluate the compatibility of the legal and institutional policies about F-Type Prisons applied by Turkish State with the European and the United Nations Based Agreements and Conventions which stipulate certain standards for the penitentiary system in the high contracting party states. It tries to make two level analysis: On the one hand, the relevant Turkish codes and the institutional settings of the penitentiary system in Turkey, namely internal dynamics, are examined in order to chart the ground for the F-Type Prison reforms. On the other hand, the thesis attempts to depict the European and the United Nations based documents as well as the formal reports of the monitoring bodies of them about F-Type Prisons in Turkey.

Political prison culture in Turkish prisons: from the ward to the F type system Karagöl, Elif Yağmur; Topal, Çağatay; Department of Sociology (2017) In this study, the reciprocal relationship between prison architecture and prison culture is analyzed within the context of the transition from the ward system to the high security F type prison system. The analysis is fed by the prison culture discussions; the internal deprivation of Gresham Sykes and Erwing Goffman; and the external impact of James B. Jacobs, Donald Cressey and John Irwin. During the research process, the in-depth interviews were conducted with the former political prisoners. By assuming ...
The power effects of human rights reforms in Turkey: enhanced surveillance and depoliticisation Bahçecik, Şerif Onur (2015-06-03) While the perspective of 'liberalism of fear' assumes that human rights limit the despotic power of the state, this paper argues that human rights reforms promoted in the context of institution- and capacity-building programmes have had significant power effects by enhancing the disciplinary capacities of the Turkish state and blunting the transformative potential of rights claiming. The reforms increased state surveillance by rechanneling criminal justice processes towards producing evidence (such as telec...

The implementation of the Copenhagen Criteria in the context of 'Respect for and Protection of Minority Rights' : the Slovak case Ertunç, Seda; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of European Studies (2007) The aim of this thesis is to observe the implementation of the Copenhagen criteria in the context of ‘respect for and protection of minority rights’ during the accession process of Slovakia. EU’s membership conditionality enforces candidate countries to improve the situation of minority groups within their borders. The main motivation of the EU in this process is to eliminate the reasons which cause ethnic conflicts in the continent and to prevent the escalation of minority-related problems into the EU terr...
