囚犯们在首批提前释放的浪潮中离开监狱时向安迪·伯纳姆表示感谢，10月1日），迈克尔·博格尔的故事应该让我们提出一个比“囚犯是否被过早释放”更深远的问题。
Prisoners thank Andy Burnham as they leave jail in first wave of early releases, 1 October ), Michael Bogle’s story should make us ask a bigger question than whether prisoners are being released too soon.
38岁的博格尔有100项定罪记录，曾被五次监禁。他告诉《卫报》，自己无家可归后为了生存开始偷窃商店商品。出狱时，他表示自己有可能再次偷窃。
Bogle, 38, has 100 convictions and has been jailed five times. He told the Guardian that he turned to shoplifting after becoming homeless, in order to eat. On leaving prison, he said that there was a risk he would shoplift again.
在“旋转门”组织，我们与那些生活轨迹完全符合这一模式的人一起推动系统性变革——他们反复接触刑事司法系统，所犯的多为相对轻微的罪行，而背后往往是无家可归、成瘾、心理健康状况不佳、贫困和创伤等多种因素交织所致。
At Revolving Doors, we work on systems change with people whose lives follow precisely this pattern – repeated contact with the criminal justice system, often for relatively low-level offences, driven by combinations of homelessness, addiction, poor mental health, poverty and trauma.
我们可以继续逮捕、起诉并监禁这类人。但在他们被定罪100次之后，我们当然有权质疑：第101次采取同样的做法，是否真能构成一项保障公共安全的严肃策略？如果没有稳定的住所、治疗以及出狱后的支持，监狱的囚位只会让人们再次穿过那扇旋转门。帕万·达利瓦尔，“旋转门”组织首席执行官媒体上关于囚犯提前释放、监狱满员状况以及量刑的讨论很多。
We can keep arresting, prosecuting and imprisoning people like this. But after 100 convictions, surely we are entitled to ask whether doing the same thing for the 101st time constitutes a serious public-safety strategy. A prison place without stable housing, treatment and support on release simply sends people back through the same revolving door. Pavan Dhaliwal Chief executive, Revolving Doors There has been much in the media on the early release of prisoners, how full our prisons are and sentencing.
我在一条服务链条的末端工作，身处一所男子开放式监狱。我个人强烈认为，我们需要关注儿童问题，以及我们在照顾他们方面的失败。犯罪生活往往由此开始：源于忽视、虐待、创伤，以及在家中目睹暴力和强奸等事件。
I work at the end of the line, in a men’s open prison. It is my personal and strong opinion that we need to look at children and how we are failing to care for them. This is where a criminal life often begins, through neglect, abuse, trauma, the witnessing of violence and rape in the home, and so on.
我合作的许多囚犯在很小的年纪就进入了监护体系，但在离开监护体系时却没有得到所需的支持，最终落得入狱。对他们中的许多人来说，监狱是他们唯一熟悉的生活。我恳请所有对此感兴趣并真正关心这一问题的人，阅读克里斯·道爵士（Chris Daw KC）所著的《正义受审》（Justice on Trial）。书中提出了一些激进解决方案，让我们有理由相信，总有一天，我们或许能够阻止如此多的人入狱，而同样重要的是，减少犯罪受害者的数量。姓名和地址已提供
Many of the prisoners who I work with enter the care system at an early age, leave care without the support they need and end up in prison. For a large number of them, prison is the only life they know. I would urge anyone who is interested, and truly cares, to read Justice on Trial by Chris Daw KC. He suggests some radical solutions, which give hope that we might, one day, be able to prevent so many going to prison and, equally as important, reduce the number of victims of crime.
