8/9(Tue): The inspiring prison?

文章 Douglas »

Dear yoyos, let's talk about prisons, oversea and in Taiwan.

Please read the following article about a trip of Americans to a German prison:
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes- ... r-slammer/

Discussion Questions for session one:
1. Have you or any of your friends been to a prison? Please share what you know about the Taiwanese prison. Is it more German or American?
2.How do you feel about the German prison? Would you like to be a "one-day prisoner"? How about one week or longer?
3.Do you agree with the idea of "normalization"? If you were the manager of a male prison in Taiwan, would you hire more female personnel in your institution? Why or why not?

Discussion Questions for session two:
Here are some information from Goggle about conditions of Taiwanese prisons:
https://www.quora.com/Whats-it-like-to- ... anese-jail
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/editori ... 2003572472
To summarize, it is somewhat spartan, not so humane, and sometimes educational(or correctional).
1. Last year A riot happened in the Kaohsiung Prison(大寮監獄事件:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaohsiung_Prison_riot). Can you recall what the six prisoners did and why?
2. Most Prisoners in Taiwan work and gain a small proportions of the earnings. Do you think that they should receive more from their labor? Why?
3. What do you think to be the main purpose of imprisonment? If we have to abandon death penalty, would you support life imprisonment instead? In a German-style prison or not?

The Germany prison does not only shocked Americans but also shocked Taiwaneses.
With this resort-like heaven, family or society outside will held no attraction for any inmates in Taiwan, I guess. Let alone for those prisoners who have poor or bad background.
But, if we are going to build resort-like schools in Taiwan, I won't mind. :lol: :lol: :lol:

About session 2 article, we have to say "Sorry, no bed for inmates at least within 20 years 'cause we still have kind, respectable and helpless elders to take care." :ccry: :ccry: :ccry:
