Show detail Hide detail

Kingston Penitentiary : Kingston Penitentiary, Canada's oldest penitentiary, opened in Portsmouth (now part of Kingston), Upper Canada, on 1 June 1835 as the Provincial Penitentiary for Upper Canada. This institution was designed for the incarceration of prisoners of both Upper Canada (Canada West) and Lower Canada (Canada East) by the Act of Union of 1840. In 1867, the government of Canada became responsible for the maintenance and management of the Provincial Penitentiary at Kingston by virtue of Section 91 of the BNA. The penitentiary was authorized to receive offenders sentenced to terms of more than two years from Ontario and Quebec and came under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice.
