Kana wakaverenga bhuku rangu, unoziva kuti jeri rinonyatsoziva zvekuita kuti musungwa asakwanise kukwidza nyaya. Vakamisa zvachose kukwanisa kwangu kuvaendesa kumatare. Kana tikafunga nezvehuwandu hwevasungwa vanoshungurudzwa vasingamhan'are mhosva, nhamba chaiyo yevasungwa vekuAmerica vanoshungurudzwa mumajeri emuAmerica yakanyanya kudarika 54,000 - yakakwira zvakanyanya. Kuwanda kwemhosva hakungogumiri pakunyengedza, zviito zvisiri pasi nehurongwa hwejeri, asiwo nekukwanisa kwemusungwa kukwidza mhosva. Vamwe vasungwa havamhan'are kumatare edzimhosva pamusoro pekushungurudzwa kwavo nekuti havadi kuonekwa sevasina simba kana kuti 'snitch'. Vamwe vasungwa havangoziva nzira yekumhan'arira uye havana anovabatsira. Kusaziva kwavo kunovamisa. Rimwe boka rakakura kwazvo risingambomhan'arira vanhu vakaremara mupfungwa. Havana simba repfungwa rokunzwisisa zviri kuitika kwavari, ndoda zvokuita nezvazvo. Pandaiva mujeri, ndakaona kuti vasungwa vaiva nezvinetso zvepfungwa ndivo vainyanya kushungurudzwa nevarindiri. Varindi vakanga vasingatyi vasungwa ve'Mental Health' uye vaigara vachivashungurudza. Kurwara asi chokwadi.

5.) Vasungwa vanonyepa kuti vari kushungurudzwa here?

Ndakagara mujeri kwemakore anopfuura gumi nemana ndikaona kuti kutaura kuti wakashungurudzwa nevashandi vemujeri kunoshorwa nevamwe vasungwa. Zvinoita kuti musungwa ari kunyunyuta ataridzike asina kusimba uye kazhinji zvinoita kuti musungwa iyeye anzi 'munyengeri' pakushandisa mitemo. Mafungiro evasungwa ndeekuti unofanira kurova chero gadhi anokukuvadza. Kutsiva nenzira yehasha kunoyemurwa nevasungwa, ukuwo nyaya dzemumatare dzinoshorwa. Naizvozvo, nepo vamwe vasungwa vanganyepa pamusoro pokubatwa zvisina kufanira, voruzhinji zvikuru havadaro. Vari kuisa pangozi mhirizhonga kubva kuvashandi vepajeri nevamwe vasungwa nekuuya nenyaya dzavo. Kunyepa kashoma.

6.) America ine mitemo yakagadziridzwa here kumisa vasungwa kumatare edzimhosva pamusoro pekushungurudzwa kwavo nevashandi vemujeri?

Hongu, mimwe mitemo inodzivirira hurongwa hwemajeri kubva kumatare edzimhosva, zvichiita kuti zvinyanye kuomera vasungwa kumhan’arira mhosva yekutyorwa kwebumbiro remitemo kana mamiriro emujeri. The Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) muenzaniso wekutanga wemutemo wakadaro. Inorayira kuti vasungwa vashandise mishonga yese yekutonga vasati vakwidza nyaya dzine chekuita nemamiriro emujeri. Kazhinji vasungwa vanovharirwa vari voga pasina tsamba kana kuwana rubatsiro rwekutonga, rwunodaidzwa kuti 'chichemo', saka havakwanise kumhan'arira kumatare edzimhosva. Ndinotsanangura maitirwo andakaita kwandiri mubhuku rangu. Sistimu yejeri inoziva kana usingakwanise kukwidza zvichemo, haumbofa wakamhan'arira, saka vanoshandisa nzira dzakapusa, dzepasi pasi sekuisa musungwa mumudziyo kudzivirira danho rekutanga mudare redzimhosva. Containment inguva apo musungwa anoiswa muchitokisi ari ega uye magadhi oudzwa kuti asape musungwa mafomu ekuti amhan’are chichemo chacho uye kuti anokanda zvichemo zvaanenge anyora mumarara kwete kuzviendesa. Izvi ndakazviitirwa kuCentral Prison muRaleigh, North Carolina kuti ndione kuti handife ndakamhan'arira nyaya yekushungurudzwa kwandakaitwa ikoko.

Kune mimwe mitemo yeFederal inodzivirira vasungwa kumhan'ara nyaya dzekurapwa kwavo. Mutongi ari ega wedare redzimhosva anoverenga chichemo chemusungwa mumwe nemumwe uye ane simba rekuchibvisa pasina kunzwa humbowo kana akaona mhosva iyi 'yakanaka' kana 'inonyengera'. Mutemo uyu unobvumira vashandi vemumajeri kushungurudza vasungwa nekungoita zvinhu zvinoonekwa zviri nyore 'sezvakanakisa', sekushandisa danda resimbi kurova musungwa. Uyu ndiwo mumwe mukana wekushungurudzwa mumajeri. Chero bedzi majeri anoita chimwe chinhu 'chinopenga', havakwanise kupomerwa mhosva. Ndinokurukura kuti izvi zvakaitika sei kwandiri mubhuku rangu.
