Joseph Morrin (English Version)
Played by Paul Fruteau de Laclos
The Morrin family migrated to Quebec City in 1798. Joseph Morrin completed his pre-university studies at Dr. Wilkie’s school. He then took up an apprenticeship in medicine with James Cockburn, surgeon and pharmacist in Quebec City. He completed his studies at the London Hospital in England and at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edimburgh, but he did not obtain a degree from these institutions. Regardless, he was granted a license to practice medicine in Quebec in 1815.
He opened his medical office around 1818 and founded a hospital for sailors. In 1826, he joined the medical personnel of the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec and took part in the foundation of the Société médicale de Québec. As a commissioner for the Quebec Board of Health, Morrin participated in the fight against the cholera epidemics of 1832 and 1834.
In 1836, Morrin became justice of the peace responsible for the administration of the city of Québec. He was alderman from 1840 to 1842 and from 1850 to 1854. He was mayor of Quebec for two mandates in 1855-56 and in 1857-58, becoming the first mayor of Quebec elected directly by the population. During his mandates, the City reorganized its police services and improved street lighting. Morrin lobbied to have Quebec City recognized as the capital of Canada, to no avail.
Morrin participated in the foundation of the Marine and Emigrant Hospital (1834), the Beauport Lunatic Asylum (1845), the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Lower Canada (1847) and the École de Médecine de Québec (1848), which was integrated to Laval University’s medical faculty in 1852. He also volunteered for the Saint Andrew’s Society of Québec, which provided assistance to migrants from Scotland, and served as its president in 1856.

Quebec Common Goal (1812-1867)
Join us as we explore Quebec's oldest prison. The current building was erected between 1808 and 1813, to serve as Quebec City's public prison, or “common gaol” as it was then known. It housed its first prisoners in 1812. Prison reform in Quebec
The Quebec common gaol was the city's main prison between 1812 and 1867. It was built between 1808 and 1812, as one of Quebec's first two modern prisons. The architect, François Baillairgé, followed the ideas of English prison reformer John Howard. Howard believed that prisoners should be separated according to their sex, their age, their crimes, and their criminal record. Hardened or dangerous criminals shouldn't be allowed to influence young first-timers who were in for minor offences.
None of this worked very well in reality. The population of Quebec exploded during that period. As well, by the 1830s, imprisonment had become the favourite punishment for petty offences such as vagrancy and public drunkenness. The prison rapidly became overcrowded: there were sometimes over 200 prisoners in gaol at a time, twice what Baillairgé had planned for. Over 60,000 prisoners were locked up during the half-century the gaol was open.
There were also too many different types of prisoners to allow classification: from drunks and prostitutes to murderers and rapists, along with debtors (their creditors could put them in prison), and, of course, disobedient sailors. At best, criminals were separated from debtors, and women were separated from men. Even children as young as 10 or 12 might find themselves in gaol, for petty thefts or vagrancy, mixed in with the other prisoners. From 1829, female prisoners had their own separate building in the gaol compound, but that didn't stop men and women talking back and forth through the windows. Some prisoners were put to work, picking apart old hemp ropes to make caulking for ships, but others did nothing.
An Anglophone institution
Goalers did their best to keep the place scrubbed clean and whitewashed, and surprisingly few prisoners died of diseases, but it must have been a very unpleasant place to be locked up in. And an ominous place as well - over the years, 16 men were hanged in front of the prison, most from an iron platform that jutted out over the main door.
The gaol also wasn't very secure. It was right in the heart of Quebec City, surrounded on all sides by streets, and easily accessible to passers-by. Liquor, tools and weapons went in the windows, and gaol blankets and gaol clothing came out as payment. As well, many prisoners tried to escape, and some were successful. Paul's crewmates were exercising in the tiny prison yard, when a guard opened the outside gate for a delivery. Seven men burst past the guard, and ran off down the street. Four were later caught, but not Paul's companions.
The end of the gaol
Right from the 1820s, there were calls for the gaol to be replaced. But the Saint-Stanislas gaol didn't close down until 1867, when the prisoners transferred to a new prison on the Plains of Abraham. The old building then served other purposes for Quebec City's English-speaking community. For a while it housed Morrin College, a university-level institution. It also became the home of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec, which now runs the Morrin Centre, an Anglophone community organization and library.
Most of the cell blocks were torn down, but in the basement are the remains of two wards, initially used for criminals condemned to death and as punishment cells, and later as an overflow area during the busy summer months. That was where Christopher Paul carved his name, and you can still visit and see it today.
