The Ethics of Farming-Out: Ideology, The State and the Asylum in Nineteenth Century Quebec
Abstract
A study of the development of the “farming-out” system of asylum provision that developed in Quebec in the nineteenth century for the treatment and care of those who were considered insane. In 1845, a group consisting of James Douglas, Joseph Morrin and Charles Frémont acquired a monopoly from the government to provide accommodation for the insane in the province at an asylum at Beauport, near Quebec City.
