许多人在讨论美国监狱到底出了什么问题。我们需要更多(改造)项目;我们需要更多心理学家或各种治疗法。有些人甚至说要让监狱更加人性化,但我认为,我们真正需要的是一个让我们表现善意的机会。不是接受,而是给予。
After more than two decades here, I know that kindness is not a value thats encouraged. Its often seen as weakness. Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business and never letting yourself be vulnerable.
在这里呆了二十多年后,我知道监狱并不鼓励善意善行它通常会被视为软弱。相反,这里提倡的监狱文化是低调做人,别管闲事,而且绝对不能让人觉得你是好欺负的。
For a few days, a raggedy cat disrupted this code of prison culture. Theyve taken him away now hopefully to a decent home but it did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. He didnt have a Ph.D., he wasnt a criminologist or a psychologist, but by simply saying, I need some help here, he did something important for us. He needed us, and we need to be needed. I believe we all do.
在那几天,一只邋遢的小猫打乱了这种监狱文化的法则。现在他们把它抱走了很可能送到某个靠谱的家庭但是看到它对我以及这里的人所产生的影响,我的心灵得到了救赎。它并没有博士学位,也不是犯罪学家或心理医生。它只不过简单地说了一句我需要帮助,就为我们带来了非常重要的影响。它需要我们,而我们也渴望被人需要。我相信人皆如此。
