为何这些囚犯能在狱中攻读法律学位

Helping prisoners get a legal education benefits them and the world, says African Prison Project founder Alexander McLean: They can help their fellow inmates with their legal expertise, and when they’re released, they can help society, too.

为何这些囚犯能在狱中攻读法律学位

非洲监狱项目创始人亚历山大·麦克莱恩表示,帮助囚犯接受法律教育,不仅有益于他们自身,也惠及整个社会:他们可以凭借法律专业知识为狱友提供帮助,获释后同样能为社会贡献力量。

七名年轻男子围坐在一张摆满教科书的桌子旁,在一间四壁皆是书架的房间里热烈地交谈着。这一幕放在世界上任何一所大学的图书馆里,看起来都像是一场普通的学习小组讨论。然而,这些学生明显消瘦,头发统一剃短,身着同款蓝白条纹的衬衫。

这些法律系学生,是乌干达某监狱的在押犯人。他们参加了一项专门培训项目,学习如何在本国刑事司法体系中为自己及狱友维权发声。该项目由非洲监狱项目(APP)资助,这一机构由当时还是法律系学生、如今已成为英国大律师的亚历山大·麦克莱恩于2007年11月创立(TED机构演讲:重建司法体系中的希望与尊严)。数年前,麦克莱恩还是一名青少年,在赴乌干达某医院参加基督教义工活动时,目睹了超负荷运转的医院工作人员将附近监狱送来的垂危病患弃之不顾、任其死亡的一幕。他开始思考:一个刑事司法体系,究竟能否真正帮助而非伤害那些被它关押的人?

“如何将监狱变成这样一种空间——把那些曾被社会边缘化的人送进去,让他们带着改变家庭、社区乃至国家的能力走出来?”他如今这样追问。如今已走过第十个年头的APP,始终致力于回答这一问题——通过在乌干达27所监狱和肯尼亚3所监狱资助开展健康、职业和扫盲培训项目,这些监狱共关押约15,000名囚犯。项目不仅面向囚犯,也对工作人员进行培训,教导他们如何在监狱内外教育和照顾各自的社群。身为TED研究员的麦克莱恩及其团队希望,在未来数年内,APP能够大幅扩展其法律教育项目。
