+終於完成了今天非常艱鉅的聽打筆記,Yeah~ 沒有做聽打的話,真是聽沒有XD +Heather今天講到school-to-prison pipeline(從校園到監獄的渠道), 大家若感興趣的話,我在留言區貼了一些中英文的網頁或影片。 +不確定的部份已訂正,謝謝Jeff&丸子的布^ ^ 中英版筆記... What do you think about the death penalty?

I’m going to jump right into today’s sentence and vocabulary words ,because I want to spend more time talking about this topic after the lesson. “It turns out that states with the penalty have had higher murder rates.”
1. death penalty 死刑 It means the legal punishment of death for a crime. *People who receive the death penalty get to choose what they have for their last meal.
2. high (adj.) (比通常水準)高的,多的 It means greater than usual level or amount. *There is a higher chance of meeting a celebrity(名人) than winning the lottery.
3. murder (n.) 謀殺,兇殺 It means the crime of intentionally(蓄意地) killing a person. *I wonder what goes on in someone’s brain or mind before they murder a person.
… And now to the topic of today’s video. So the US has the most people in prison and the highest prison rate.(美國擁有最多的囚犯,最高的判罪率). And there’s one thing in the US has been a topic by a lot of people have been talking about, which is “ the school-to-prison pipeline(輸送管)”. This is a process where minors(未成年人) or young adults from not so good areas or backgrounds are becoming incarcerated(被監禁的) meaning they are put into prison because of harsh school policies. And usually that means they will drop out from school(退學), they won’t achieve or be [as successful as someone who had went through] school, their grades are not so well. And they will have problems with other people or in school. That’s why they end up potentially joining the wrong people or doing into young adult prison and then later on to adult prison. This is a huge issue in the US, because of a lot of factors including income(收入), race(種族), police, bias(偏見), meanings they don’t realize that they treat people differently based on their race or other factors and sentencing, which is how long someone is punished for crime they committed.
The recidivism [rɪˋsɪdə͵vɪzəm](累犯) rate in the US is very high. Recidivism means someone [will commit] another crime even though they were punished for previous crime or crimes that they did before. The sad truth of reality in the US is that the rate is so high. Partly because of not having enough resources to help people once they leave prison, they are not able to find jobs easily because they have been in prison. And they might not even have skills that are needed for the jobs they want to do. And also there’s no ability for them to settle back into the society meaning there’s no assistance(協助) to help them get back on their feet(重新站起來), not just for work or employment but also for housing, food, and other resources. It is depending on how long on they have been in prison, they might come out to a whole new world. Just like some of the movies that we’ve seen. And then another sad fact is that they might not have a lot of friends ,meaning the only people they know are those they’ve met in prison. And not all of them come out being better people or are able to get back on their feet. So if they end up becoming friends with people who are still doing bad things or committing crimes, they are more likely themselves to follow those friends do things that are considered illegal.
And another thing to think about is person doesn’t learn anything when they are in jail for a longer time or they’ve received the death penalty.
And in the US, there are many horror stories about the death penalty and what they use to end someone’s life. And a lot of times, there isn’t even a medical professional around or the right medicine to give to the person so that they can die quickly and easily.
If you’re interested in this topic and you have some time , feel free to look on VoiceTube the video called “How Norway designed a more humane(人道的) prison.” https://tw.voicetube.com/videos/75333 (+這麼美的環境,進去就不想出來了吧?)
I hope today’s topic will get you brain moving and thinking.

☺It turns out that states with the death penalty have had higher murder rates. 結果顯示在有死刑的州,其兇殺犯罪率反而較高。 【心得】即便有這樣的統計,也不能推論是因為死刑,所以才導致較高的謀殺犯罪率,搞不好因果關係是相反,或兩者沒有直接的因果關係;個人認為審慎之下判處的死刑可以1.讓殺人犯不會有機會再繼續殺其他人;2.讓人相信這個社會還是存在有公平正義的。 ■the death penalty 死刑 ■a capital crime/offence 死罪 ■be sentenced to life without parole [pəˋrol] 被判處終身監禁 ■parole [pəˋrol]假釋(期)、有條件釋放 假釋 ■murder [ˋmɝdɚ] 謀殺(罪);要命的事 有分級:一級謀殺first degree murder蓄意且有預謀的殺人;二級謀殺Second degree murder 蓄意(或罔顧他人生命)但非預謀的殺人 殺人、犯殺人罪 扼殺、糟蹋 ■homicide [ˋhɑmə͵saɪd](泛指)殺人(行為) 殺人犯 ■manslaughter [ˋmæn͵slɔtɚ] {法律}一般殺人罪;過失殺人、誤殺;無行為能力者所犯的殺人罪行 分兩種1.”非預謀故意殺人罪” voluntary manslaughter被一時情緒激起(如被挑釁等)所犯下的誤殺;2.過失致死 Involuntary manslaughter

Thank you, Heather.
對於罪行重大且無可教化的人,需要用納稅人的錢養他們一輩子嗎?
呃…是說在台灣好像沒有不能教化的…

* deter(威攝、使不敢) is a verb. To prevent someone from doing something or to make someone less enthusiastic about doing something by making it difficult for that person to do it or by threatening bad results if they do it
E.g. These walls are designed to deter titans‘ invasion. 這些牆旨在阻止巨人的侵入。(我是進擊的巨人迷⋯)
Death penalty means the legal punishment of death for crimes.
People who receive the death penalty get to chose what they have from the last meal.
High is an adjustive which means greater than a usual level or amount.
There’s a higher chance of meeting a celebrity than winning the lottery.
Murder is a noun. It means a crime of intentionally killing a person.
I wonder what goes on in someone’s brain or mind before they murder a person.
