Das Gefängnis und die Strafe der Zukunft | Thomas Galli | TEDxDresden


yes, good evening, I am glad that I am

Here you can introduce my ideas

on a topic that he emotionally occupied

is also very negative but is busy

I think if we thought here

as we make our future ours

common future as meaningful as possible

Shaping then plays the question

also a very important role

how can we do it as a state like

let’s do it as a society

To limit harm to the individual always

inflict on others again

in other words how should we

in the future with the topic of crime

bypass

i would introduce you to mine

Lecture on a very short

thought experiment to a very short

Invite thought experiment if you

Try to forget everything you

know about crime and about that

dealing with crime over

Prisons if you try that

everything out of her head from hers

to erase memory and then

imagine you are one of the members

government of a state and become so

now commissioned to ponder

how do we make it to crime

how do we do it?

increase the safety of the population

how do we get people into it?

society always integrate

violate certain rules again like

let’s do it that way

to integrate society

to the rules at least largely

then we obtain

justice for victims for

injured from crime and at

Of course, all of this would always be necessary

keep in mind that the resources

a state’s financial and the

other resources are always limited

I’m happy to bet

the least of them at the end

this thought experiment on the idea

we would come to say we lock

people to punish a total

device as we know it today as

prisons as it came to do

prison and how come how can you

then come up with the idea at all

to create prisons so completely

Originally you people

imprisoned to arrest him that

they can be tortured and that he

then you can be killed

At some point, just come up with the idea

all socially undesirable

to lock away company members

so that you have your peace before them so

tramp beggars ill offenders

all lock up and then someday

the idea arose yes we can yes

the deprivation of liberty as in itself as

use punishment

Of course that was already one

progress compared to head now

chop off or what else is there and

in the modern criminal justice wants much

Achieving more than just blocking the road

achieve something positive in particular

they all try to live trying

that the prisoners are resocialized

that means that I’m so on one

to be prepared for freedom in freedom

that she integrates behind society

are and are largely to the

keeping social norms that is

the goal

only this goal just after my

Conviction can not be achieved and

Although it can not be achieved by principle

become the principle prison that

Principle of freedom belongs to the

test bench

it just can not make sense

integrate people into society

to want and empower them 1

responsible punishment-free life too

lead them out of the

society takes out in this

total institution prison heinsberg

life in prison has with the

do not live in freedom at all

do it is purely foreign it can

do not work

these people for months or years

from the

shield the outside world largely if

she has a current what is currently called

but five areas of the penal system

still up to date if you like the example

internet takes the most caught

have no internet access and about

months or years and should then

in this context, to live in

freedom and we

Everyone without an internet connection knows today

almost no life is also conceivable

in the professional field in others

areas so that can not

work and it can also work

make no sense to my view

try the security of

to increase generality by

certain person a few months or

Locked up for a few years if this

person after this stick when you return

to be released in freedom

are more dangerous than before

then under the dash is not the

safety general increases the

security of the general is in the

It can also be reduced

make no sense many billions

every year for the execution of

offenders and as good as

nothing to do for the victims

especially make no sense the

guilt as a measure of all things and as

basis for all state

to make guilt and interventions

retribution

one must never forget at all

Emphasizing resocialisation

are important and the right ones are

The reason why someone is locked up

and how long is locked up is always

still guilty

So the court notes that one has

his test made Verdi and the blame

and they blame themselves

he has to pay three, for example

years in prison must blame

requited

then, of course, trying in the

prisons in the

correctional facilities these three years

make as meaningful as possible

but also the very best criminal execution

just can not prevent that

the one after three years

come back out someone is the three

years of prison

the three years jail in his biography

Anyone can imagine what that is

means for his chances on the

labor market and other areas

the best prison can not

prevent the known circle

and the circle of delinquents

of detained criminals first

He recruits from other offenders

can only with offenders

being together over months over years

that there is an own value system

own standards system is also formed

a completely natural process

and also the best prison can

Do not prevent the offender

through the adherence of this perfect

exclude as normal

society continues to edge

the society is urged and

insofar as the probability

getting bigger and bigger

that he is no longer ready and not

no longer able to stand in

to integrate the society and yourself

to the norms of this society ours

to keep society

but what do we need now instead

what to do while making more sensible ways

with crime as people to

imprison punishment

First we have to get away from this

thoughts of this backward-looking one

trained and thoughtless retaliation blame

and retribution is only violence

because someone else has done violence

that has no positive at all

effect for the future it does that

in many cases it only causes harm

bigger we have to think to one

also dealing with crime in the

dealing with offenders to one

thinking for the future and becoming one

think that we try solutions too

to deal with the harm of

has been served and in many

falls big is still possible sense

deal

and for that we need more individual

Solutions We have to get away from this

watering can principle what the penal system

after all, there is somebody there that is

made and comes in like three years

It said so in the end

watering can principle for all the same

the prison sentence

to individual solutions that

we can see what is in this

concrete case makes sense what makes sense

to do with the offender so he does not

this is also the case for other crimes

Meaningful how can you care for the victim

how can you do that harm the

the offender has done so in the

cases in the job is still possible as

Can you the widest possible again

do well

it can be

Charitable work that can be

Work in state-owned enterprises where

then the profits crime victims

benefit or the concrete

Victims of the offenders of the

must work there can be the

commitment to outpatient therapy

Measures the outpatient therapy

measures have much larger ones

Prospect of success as the

Therapy measures in liable in this

Wege ultimately says alien

context

that can also be his suitable fall

an electronically monitored house arrest

in there are many other countries

already and for a long time good

experiences with it

and that can be in these few

There are very bad cases

of course also sex murderers of

children eg that one says in the case

must the lifelong the

Freedom be withdrawn with it

more sacrifices avoided in any case

but that should be mine

view in a decent and

ultimately cheaper

Context take place as currently in

the prisons and in the

security custody

the case is and when we think

think about the aspect of

Deterrence that’s an argument that

We will always be brought back

the prisons necessarily to

deterrence

there you have to realize that

this the deterrent thought in itself

of course has a right

he should prevent something so it is

future-oriented positive

future-oriented but the deterrent

from imprisoned by

The punishment of all kinds is the

Deterrence is a lot much

less than most people

think and especially when it comes to

Serious crime is the one before

wants to prevent everything

then violent sexual offenses are

that’s so effective and emotional

determines and controls these

offenses that the deterrent

thought hardly plays a role

and in other cases when in wedding

cheaters who prepare so long

and think like you do

these offenses then begin the children

through always and mostly of it

that he does not get caught anyway

become

the research also clearly shows a lot

more important for a deterrent effect

as harder is harder and harder punishment

Is it the detection probability

ultimately increase

so if people feel stronger

have if I make the then caught

one has me then one has a lot

greater deterrent effect

and if you have a punishment too

reaching the offender, so to speak

A rethinking wants to realize that he

Insight then what he did

it does not make any sense to anyone

lock away three years after we left

opened has committed but then

the act has to be very present

orden his thinking and in my head that

jähnigen who has perpetrated and

so far, you would have to over

Of course, we think at full speed

but the rule of law guarantees

significantly accelerate the process

these alternatives of course here

just can not hint from

today on tomorrow, the system that we

Now we can replace it

should abolish prisons but

this requirement is natural

unrealistic and that can only be true

It will be a process of months

decades will drag on

and in the course of this process it will

be that way in my opinion

should be that slowly alternative

be built up and that slowly

figuratively speaking the walls of

prison always lowered

So, for example, that will happen

begins for certain prisoners

suitable captive groups

electronically supervised house arrest

to introduce those with him no longer ins

prison to lock but in

this house arrest the whole thing has a lot

even stronger than before

Accidentally accompanied scientifically

and be evaluated and with the

Experiences that one makes one becomes there

I am convinced that the

successes of this new because of much

are bigger than they are in ours

This is the only system that will enter

a slow process

finally one more

and in this process must be the

we have to limit ourselves very much

essentially involve the people in now

the prisons work

which is done there is the

Follow these are great people working very

committed competent with huge

experience partly that one must

necessarily use and use if it

that’s why alternatives now go to

build up the current system and then

complete the thought if we do now

talk and think about this topic

then you have to be aware of that

is a huge luxury is in syria and

elsewhere where daily people

tortured and murdered during the

have completely different problems

and we Germans we should but

this luxury we do not have meaningless

waste but use on this

high civilizational is the rage

undoubtedly have already reached

build and expand it

So if we should succeed that

we find a way meaningful paths in

to deal with crime

also resource-conserving with those

We largely go to the prison as well

then would be the European and

Germany’s highest europe and

most respectable in the world and me

think this idea and this approach

that would be a real export hit

thank you for your attention

[Applause]
