监狱文化：一个概念 三种理解

上世纪八十年代以来,随着监狱文化实践的出现,学界开始对监狱文化问题展开理论探讨。历经30余年的发展,监狱文化论题已经成为中国特色监狱理论的重要组成部分。然而,理论界对监狱文化概念的理解并不完全一致,学者从不同视角和立场出发对监狱文化作出了不尽相同的解读，理解上的分歧不利于对监狱文化问题进行自觉探索和深入研究。因此，本文试图对监狱文化理解上的分歧做一个梳理，     

要透明,不要苛求

我们必须想明白,善待慈善者就是善待人类扶弱济困的美德,就是善待我们自己。无论首善、大善还是小善,高调行善还是默默无闻地行善,我们都应该理解、支持和鼓励,并向他们学习。     

一纸鉴定,关乎人命

在百姓眼中,精神病是那么的神秘莫测,是那么的捉摸不定,因此对于许多表现出不易理解的行为和言语的人,人们都一律冠以“精神病”。然而在诉讼中,司法精神病鉴定的工作却是个艰巨而细致的过程,因为,尤其在刑事案件中,法医的

Women in Prison in Spain: The Implementation of Bangkok Rules to the Spanish Prison Legislation

This paper aims to take a close look at the reality of female crime in Spain. On the one hand, we will focus on describing the current situation of women incarcerated in Spanish prisons, an especially vulnerable group given their peculiarities and needs. Through secondary sources, we describe the situation of discrimination against women in these prisons. On the other hand, the paper establishes whether the current Spanish prison legislation echoes all or some of the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures of Freedom for Women Offenders (Bangkok Rules, 2010). To this end, a detailed analysis of both standards, national and international, is essential. As a general conclusion, although Spain has high standard prison regulations and modern facilities, female prisoners in Spanish prison are subject to discrimination. It is from such a perspective that this article proposes that the necessary changes and appropriate penitentiary policies to meet the specific needs of female prisoners are established.     

To Be (Present) or Not To Be (Present): Trials In Absentia before the Special Tribunal for Lebanon

One feature of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (‘STL’)differentiating it from other international criminal tribunals(except for the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal) isthat its Statute allows for trials in absentia. The Statutepermits such trials when an accused failed to appear in courtor even to appoint a defence lawyer, but only on the conditionthat, where the indictment could not be served or notified tothe accused, it was duly publicized through the media or communicatedto the state of residence or nationality of the accused. Followingthe case law of the European Court of Human Rights, Article22(3) of the STL Statute allows for retrial, except where anabsent defendant was represented at trial by counsel of hisor her own choosing. The author argues this right to retrialshould not be applied either where (i) the accused expresslywaived in writing his right to be present, but then failed toappoint counsel of his choosing; or (ii) a state's failure tohand the accused over to the STL does not cure the accused'srefusal to voluntarily surrender to the STL. She also arguesthat the right of retrial following trials in absentia oughtto accrue to Lebanese courts, notwithstanding Article 5(1) ofthe Statute, which seems to prohibit Lebanese courts retryingindividuals convicted by the STL. Finally, she takes into accountthe position of states that prohibit trials in absentia, butare requested to surrender a person convicted in absentia bythe STL for the purpose of executing his sentence, suggestingan ad hoc agreement between the state in question and the STLmay be required as a remedy.

国际私法中的比较法学派:从实然走向应然

比较法学派是国际私法中继普遍主义与特殊主义学派之后的第三大学派。比较法学派的科学立场和研究方法使它既避免了普遍主义学派的那种脱离现实中的各个国家的法律制度而在抽象的真空中进行理论推测的不足,也避免了特殊主义学派的那种仅仅站在本国立场上,对先前国内司法判例和个别法官观点进行纯粹实证主义分析的缺陷。因此,比较法学派客观地认识到了国际私法的实然性与应然性之间的矛盾,并以化解这一矛盾为契机,促使国际私法从实然走向应然,使之成为沟通普遍主义与特殊主义的一座桥梁。     

Language, Culture, and Behavior in Prison: The Israeli Case

The current study describes the everyday life of Israeli prisoners and analyzes the actions they perform and the language they use as a reflection of their constraints, distresses, worldviews, beliefs, and attitudes. Data were subjected to a content analysis, and the salience of the values, norms and argot terms were assessed using two measures, attention and intensity. The inmates’ values and norms and the argot expressions were divided into categories with reference to different aspects of prison experience: prisoners’ adherence to the code, inmates’ interpersonal loyalty, sexual behavior in prison, drugs, violence and miscellaneous.

Women in Prison as Litigants:

ABSTRACT
