Eetika õpetamine kinnipeetavatele: pilootprogrammi ülevaade
Abstract
Vangistuse täideviimise üheks kõige olulisemaks eesmärgiks on kinnipeetavate taasühiskonnastamine. Taasühiskonnastamise parimaks viisiks loetakse individuaalset nõustamist, kuid see on aja- ja ressursimahukas. Selleks on vanglad leidnud võimalused, kus mitmed vangid saavad samaaegselt osaleda: nendeks eelkõige hariduse omandamine ja erinevad riskipõhised sotsiaalprogrammid. Mõlemad on väga efektiivsed ja on end ajas tõestanud kui taasühiskonnastamist toetavate tegevustena. Autor on kaks valdkonda ühendanud ja viinud Tallinna Vanglas kolmel korral läbi eetikateemalise programmi kinnipeetavatele. Eetikateemalisi programme on ühiskonnas mitmetes eluvaldkondades korraldatud, kuid vanglates üle maailma vaid üksikud korrad. Artikkel annab ülevaate, milliselt on Eestis pilootprogramm läbi viidud ja milliseid teemasid kinnipeetavatega arutatud, samuti annab hinnangu, kas sellisel programmil võiks olla Eesti vanglasüsteemis kohta.
The reintegration of prisoners into society is a fundamental goal of imprisonment. While individual counseling is optimal for this purpose, it demands considerable time and resources. Prisons have found ways how to engage multiple prisoners simultaneously, notably through educational initiatives and risk-based social programs. Both are highly effective and have proven themselves over time as activities that support resocialization. Combining these approaches, the author conducted an ethics program at Tallinn Prison. Although ethics-related programs are prevalent in various societal spheres, they are rare within prisons worldwide. This article reviews the pilot program’s implementation in Estonia, discusses topics covered, and assesses its viability in the Estonian prison system.
