Скачать или смотреть 5. Webinar: Humane Treatment of Presently Incarcerated People

Many people who are incarcerated have not been convicted of a crime. Unsentenced incarcerated persons comprise about half the prison population in the countries with the most severe overcrowding. Conditions in many places of detention are unhygienic and inhumane. Rarely do the facilities provide opportunities for re-entry or even maintenance of family connections. Underlying issues of poverty, discrimination, unemployment, psychological stress, and substance abuse are rarely dealt with within prisons. Faith-Based Organizations can advocate for penal reforms and operate programs of introspection and restorative justice as well as post-release support projects. Their members should continually emphasize that a temporarily incarcerated person is a human being with inalienable rights.
