2.) Abantu bameka abali mu makomera mu America?

Mu mwaka gwa 2025, omuwendo gw’abantu mu makomera mu Amerika gubalirirwamu kumpi obukadde bubiri. Omuwendo guno gulimu abantu ssekinnoomu abasibiddwa mu makomera g’eggwanga, amakomera ga gavumenti eya wakati, amakomera g’omu kitundu, n’ebifo ebirala eby’okutereeza abantu. Lipoota ya Prison Policy Initiative eya "Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2025" etuwa endowooza esinga obujjuvu ku bantu bano abasibe. Omuwendo gw’abasibe mu makomera mu Amerika gwe gumu ku gusinga obunene mu nsi yonna, nga ku buli 100,000 abantu 583 be basibiddwa.

3.) Kale, omuwendo gw’abasibe b’Amerika abawawaabira mu kkooti ku ngeri gye bayisibwamu buli mwaka guli gutya?

Obukadde bubiri bw’ogabye omutwalo gumu bwenkana emitwalo ebiri

Emitwalo ebiri emirundi abiri mu musanvu zenkana 54,000

Kale, abasibe b’Amerika nga 54,000 bawawaabira mu kkooti y’essaza oba eya federo ku ngeri gye bayisibwamu buli mwaka.

4.) Abasibe bonna abatulugunyizibwa mu America bawawaabira mu kkooti?

Bw’oba osomye ekitabo kyange, okimanyi nti enkola y’amakomera emanyi bulungi eky’okukola okukomya obusobozi bw’omusibe okuwawaabira mu kkooti. Bayimiriza ddala obusobozi bwange obw’okubawawaabira. Singa tutunuulira omuwendo gw’abasibe abatulugunyizibwa abataggulawo musango, omuwendo gwennyini ogw’abasibe b’Amerika abatulugunyizibwa mu makomera g’Amerika gusinga nnyo ku 54,000 - gusinga nnyo. Omuwendo gw’emisango tegukoma ku bikolwa eby’obukuusa, eby’ekyama ebikolebwa enkola y’amakomera, wabula n’obusobozi bw’omusibe okuwawaabira mu kkooti. Abasibe abamu tebawawaabira musango ku kutulugunyizibwa kwabwe kubanga tebaagala kulabibwa ng’abanafu oba ‘snitch’. Abasibe abalala bamala butamanya ngeri ya kuwawaabira musango era tebalina muntu yenna abayamba. Obutamanya bwabwe bubalemesa. Ekibinja ekirala ekinene ennyo ekitaggulawo misango be balema ku bwongo. Bamala butabeera na busobozi bwa birowoozo kutegeera bibatuukako, ka tugambe eky’okukola ku nsonga eyo. Bwe nnali mu kkomera, nnakizuula nti abasibe abalina obuzibu ku bwongo be basinga okutulugunyizibwa abakuumi. Abakuumi tebaalina kutya kwonna eri abasibe ba ‘Mental Health’ era nga buli kiseera babatulugunya. Omulwadde naye nga kituufu.

5.) Abasibe balimba nti batulugunyizibwa?

Namala emyaka egisukka mu kkumi n’ena mu kkomera ne nkizuula nti okugamba nti watulugunyizibwa abakozi b’amakomera abasibe abalala bakikuba ennyindo. Kifuula omusibe eyeemulugunya okulabika ng’omunafu era emirundi mingi kireetera omusibe oyo okuwandiikibwako nti ‘snitch’ olw’okukozesa enkola y’amateeka. Endowooza eya bulijjo mu basibe eri nti olina okukuba omukuumi yenna akutuusaako obulabe mu mubiri. Okwesasuza mu ngeri y’okukola obulumbaganyi mu mubiri abasibe beewuunya nnyo, ate emisango giba gifuuse ennyindo. N’olwekyo, wadde ng’abasibe abamu bayinza okulimba ku kutulugunyizibwa, abasinga obungi tebalimba. Bali mu kabi ak’okutulugunyizibwa mu mubiri okuva mu bakozi b’amakomera n’abasibe abalala nga bavaayo n’emboozi zaabwe. Obulimba tebutera kubaawo.

6.) America erina amateeka agakoleddwa okulemesa abasibe okuwawaabira mu misango ku kutulugunyizibwa kwabwe abakozi b’amakomera?

Yee, amateeka agamu gakuuma enkola y’amakomera okuva mu misango, ekizibuwalira abasibe okuwawaabira olw’okumenya ssemateeka oba obukwakkulizo bw’amakomera. Etteeka erifuga ennongoosereza mu misango gy’amakomera ( PLRA ) kye kyokulabirako ekikulu eky’etteeka eryo. Elagira abasibe okukozesa enkola zonna ez’okuddukanya emirimu nga tebannawawaabira misango egyekuusa ku mbeera z’amakomera. Ebiseera ebisinga abasibe bakuumibwa nga beetongodde nga tebalina mail oba okufuna eddagala ly’okuddukanya emirimu, eriyitibwa ‘okwemulugunya’, kale tebasobola kuwawaabira mu kkooti. Nnyonyola engeri kino gye kyankolebwamu mu kitabo kyange. Enkola y’amakomera emanyi bw’oba tosobola kuwawaabira kwemulugunya, tosobola kuwawaabira musango, kale bakozesa obukodyo obw’okwekweka, obw’ekyama ng’okuteeka omusibe mu kifo ekikuumirwamu omusibe okutangira omutendera ogusooka mu nkola y’okuwawaabira. Okuziyiza omusibe bw’ateekebwa mu kasenge akayitibwa isolation cell era abakuumi ne bategeezebwa obutawa musibe foomu z’okuteeka okwemulugunya n’okusuula okwemulugunya kwonna okuwandiikiddwa mu kasasiro okusinga okuziwaayo. Kino kyankolera mu kkomera lya Central Prison e Raleigh, North Carolina okulaba nga sisobola kuwawaabira musango ku kutulugunyizibwa kwe nnafunayo.

Waliwo amateeka amalala aga Federo agalemesa abasibe okugoberera emisango ku ngeri gye bayisibwamu. Omulamuzi wa federo ali yekka asoma buli kwemulugunya kw’omusibe era alina obuyinza okukigoba nga tawulira bujulizi singa alaba ng’omusango ‘ogw’ekitalo’ oba ‘ogw’obulimba’. Etteeka lino likkiriza abakozi b’amakomera okutulugunya abasibe nga bamala kukola kintu kyangu okutwalibwa nga ‘ekyewuunyisa’, ng’okukozesa ekikondo ky’ekyuma okukuba omusibe. Kino kye kituli ekirala eky’okutulugunya abantu mu makomera. Kasita enkola y’amakomera ekola ekintu ‘eky’eddalu’, tebasobola kuvunaanibwa. Nteesa ku ngeri kino gye kyantuukako mu kitabo kyange.
