The Remandee: Losing liberty and love - BBC Africa Eye documentary

Фильм және анимация

Prisoners on remand - or 'remandees' - in Zambia often face an uncertain future. William Kondowe has been waiting two years for his trial on charges of car theft and murder and, like many prisoners, he has struggled to maintain his links to life outside the prison walls. A radical new project, set up by Prison counsellor Hastings Siamoongwa, tries to help remandees like William. A film by BBC Africa Eye.

    We in Africa we understand very well that conversation. I dont know if you are African but any Aftican understand that conversation. Her husband k ows she was to meet him. Secondly she had already a child with the jailed guy and still got married . In Africa thats very very rare so we need to also think of what kind of man married A single mother?have nothing against single mothers but i jnow that its a very big huddle in Africa.so she must be the one in charge and he might be what they call a Bum in the west. No self respecting man in Africa who goes out and gets a job and sweats his ass off will take a woman whoes former boyfriend is in jail for murder and theft and has already a child with him. Waoooo.i can see and African Family dismissing her immediately and in Africa family approval is very Vital.in deed its even the most important entity. You dont marry a person in Africa. You marry a family amd sometimes a village

This is worse than what they are reporting in Africa.

    What is wrong with this documentary? One of the lessons we Africa and we Africans should draw from it is we have the moral obligation to have prison structures that do not dehumanize, but that rehabilitate. Last time I watched a documentary about prisons in Haiti and told myself if I were a political person in that country I would have used the history to justify the idea that prisons must be the places that do not dehumanize otherwise we justify the past by the way we treat ourselves.
