The law of 28 June 1881 formalised a special administrative and penal regime for Algerians classified as “indigènes.” It enabled punishment through administrative authority and offences that did not apply equally to European settlers. The regime entrenched legal inequality and coercive control; later extensions and amendments prolonged its use. Its legal form should not obscure the violence and humiliation experienced by those subjected to it.
