And then one day, she felt

when a parent and child

親子能夠共同沉浸在

嗯，對一些孩子來說是如此，

經過了對蘇菲而言
很長很長的一段時間之後，

but she reads a little out to Sophie.

02:30
Sophie says she'd like to go

02:38
Then one day the phone rings.
46
146829
2150
接著，有一天，電話響了。
02:41

他說他打電話的時間有限，
02:50
and anyway, it's very noisy
wherever he is.

02:53
And Sophie doesn't know
what to say to him.

51
161476
3104
而蘇菲不知道該對他說什麼。
02:58
Well, as stories go,
that's not a very nice one.
that's not a very nice one.
52
166631
2761
就故事來說，這並不是
一個很好的故事。
一個很好的故事。
03:01
In the United Kingdom, 200,000 children

在英國，有二十萬個孩子
03:06
experience the shame and isolation
of a parent in prison.

54
174093
4155
會因為有一位家長坐牢
而感受到羞恥和孤立。
而感受到羞恥和孤立。
03:11
Two hundred thousand.
55
179117
2055
二十萬。
03:13
That's more than the number
of children each year
of children each year
56
181196
2310
這超過了每年因父母離婚
03:15
who are affected
by their parents divorcing.

57
183530
2417
而受到影響的孩子數目。
03:18
And it can affect the children
of prisoners very deeply.

58
186307
3000
囚犯的孩子受到的影響可能非常深。
他們可能會成為學校的問題學生，
03:21
There can be problems at school,
59
189829
1591
03:23
and they're three times more likely
to suffer from mental health issues.

60
191444

且他們出現心理健康問題的
可能性比一般人高三倍。
可能性比一般人高三倍。
03:28
In so many ways,
61
196932
1502
在許多層面上，
03:30
children are the unintended victims
of their parents' crimes.
of their parents' crimes.
62
198458
4783
父母犯罪，他們的孩子
都在無意中成了受害者。

因為詐欺而入獄。
03:48
I was dishonest, and I paid the penalty.
67
216974
2600
我不誠實，而我因此受罰。
03:52
Before that, I'd been
a practicing solicitor for 30 years.

68
220450

在那之前，我當了
三十年的執業律師。

03:56
I'd had a happy and stable upbringing,

224172
2715
我有一個幸福且穩定的養育環境，
03:58
a good education,
70
226911
1198
我有良好的教育，有幸福的婚姻，
04:00
a happy marriage, which,
I'm pleased to say, continues.
I'm pleased to say, continues.
71
228133
2944
我很高興地說，它仍然維繫著。
04:03
I have two adult sons.
72
231101
2547
我有兩個已成年的兒子。
04:06
When they were growing up,
I did my best to be around for them
I did my best to be around for them
73
234387
3587
在他們的成長中，我盡可能
04:09
as much as I could.
74
237998
1452
陪在他們身邊。
04:11
And I took a careful interest
in what they did.
in what they did.
75
239474
2229
我很小心地去關心他們所做的事。
04:13
I read to my boys every night,
76
241727
2953
我每天晚上都會講故事
給我的兒子們聽，
給我的兒子們聽，
04:16
and ironically, our favorite story
was "Burglar Bill."

77
244704
4815
很諷刺的是，我們最愛的
故事是《大盜比爾》。
故事是《大盜比爾》。
04:21
(Laughter)
78
249543
2145
（笑聲）
04:25
But when I got to prison,
it soon became apparent

79
253210
2610
但是當我去坐牢時，
很快就能清楚地發現，
很快就能清楚地發現，
04:27
that my background was very different
to that of most of the prisoners.
to that of most of the prisoners.
80
255844
4115
我的背景和其他
大部分囚犯非常不同。
大部分囚犯非常不同。
04:32
Few of the men that I met
had had a decent education.
had had a decent education.
81
260505

我很少遇到教育程度較高的囚犯。
04:35
Indeed, many associated education
with humiliation and failure.
with humiliation and failure.
82
263665
4769
的確，許多人會把教育
與羞辱及失敗聯繫起來。
與羞辱及失敗聯繫起來。
04:40
I can tell you firsthand
that prison is dehumanizing.
that prison is dehumanizing.
83
268458
4162
我可以告訴各位我的親身體驗，
監獄是很沒人性的。
監獄是很沒人性的。
04:45
Prisoners harden up,
they shut down, they close in ...
they shut down, they close in ...
84
273592
3428
囚犯都要變得很強硬，
停止運轉，封閉自己……
停止運轉，封閉自己……
04:49
just to survive.
85
277863
1447
只為了生存。
04:52
And this can be devastating for families.
86
280166
2396
這對於家庭來說是毀滅性的。
04:56
In fact, maintaining contact
with your family from prison
with your family from prison
87
284546
4178
事實上，從監獄中維持和家人的聯絡
05:00
can be very difficult indeed.
88
288748
1933
的確是非常困難的事。
05:03
And if a child does get to see
their parent in prison,
their parent in prison,
89
291613
3150
如果孩子的確有機會到監獄探視家長，
05:06
they have to go through
the same pat-down searches as the adults.
the same pat-down searches as the adults.
90
294787
3111
他們得要和成人一樣接受搜身。
05:09
They walk through
the same detector frames,
the same detector frames,
91
297922
2764
他們也要走過同樣的探測門，
05:12
they're sniffed by the same sniffer dogs,
92
300710
2161
他們同樣要被嗅探犬聞過，
05:14
and all because some children
have been the unwitting carriers
have been the unwitting carriers
93
302895
3404
這全都因為有些孩子
在不知情的狀況下
在不知情的狀況下
成為將毒品和行動電話
走私進去的工具。
走私進去的工具。
05:18
of drugs and mobile phones.
94
306323
2184
05:21
And when they get through
to see their parent,
to see their parent,
95
309567
2171
當他們可以見到家長時，
05:23
they may be tired from a long journey,
96
311762
2686
他們可能已經因為
漫長的旅途而累壞了，
漫長的旅途而累壞了，
05:26
shy, tongue-tied, even upset.
97
314472
2991
害羞、舌頭打結，甚至很沮喪。
05:29
And it isn't easy for the parents,
who may not be getting along.
who may not be getting along.
98
317853
3571
對於不太會應付這種狀況的
父母來說，這並不好受。
父母來說，這並不好受。
05:34
For many reasons, not just these,
99
322227
1877
基於許多理由，不僅這些，
05:36
over half of prisoners lose contact
with their children and families.
with their children and families.
100
324957
4332
一半以上的囚犯
會和孩子及家人失聯。
會和孩子及家人失聯。
05:41
How can we help prisoners
to stay in contact with their families?
to stay in contact with their families?
101
329942
3684
我們要如何協助囚犯
和家人保持聯絡？
和家人保持聯絡？
05:46
When I was a prisoner
at Channings Wood Prison,
at Channings Wood Prison,
102
334574
2270
當我還在 Channings Wood
監獄服刑時，
監獄服刑時，
05:48
I began working for a charity
called Storybook Dads.
called Storybook Dads.
103
336868
3060
我開始為一個慈善團體
「故事書爸爸」工作。
「故事書爸爸」工作。
05:52
Storybook Dads began in 2003,
104
340934
2696
「故事書爸爸」於 2003 年創立，
05:55
when Sharon Berry, a civilian worker
in a prison, realized just how much
in a prison, realized just how much
105
343654
5237
那時，在一間監獄
擔任文職人員的雪倫 · 貝利
擔任文職人員的雪倫 · 貝利
了解到有許多囚犯
非常想要和孩子聯絡。
非常想要和孩子聯絡。
06:00
many prisoners wanted to stay
in contact with their children.
in contact with their children.
106
348915
3213
06:04
And so, armed with a few storybooks,
107
352694
2342
所以，只帶著幾本故事書，
06:07
she began to help prisoners
to read and record stories
to read and record stories
108
355060
2959
她就開始協助囚犯
朗讀故事並錄下來，
朗讀故事並錄下來，
06:10
to send home to their children.
109
358043
2067
再寄送回家給他們的孩子。
06:12
It wasn't a new idea.
Few ideas like this are new.
Few ideas like this are new.
110
360468
3804
這不是個新點子。
像這樣的點子很少是新的。
像這樣的點子很少是新的。
06:16
They're great ideas.
111
364611
1333
它們是很棒的點子。
06:18
But it was an instant success.
112
366942
2155
但是，它馬上就成功了。
06:22
You may wonder: How does the recording
of the stories work in prison?
of the stories work in prison?
113
370466
4967
你可能會納悶：在監獄中
要如何錄下故事？
要如何錄下故事？
06:27
Is it difficult for prisoners?
114
375769
2190
這對囚犯來說會很困難嗎？
06:29
Can it be challenging?
115
377983
1467
它會很有挑戰性嗎？
06:33
Well, the process of choosing,
reading and recording a story
reading and recording a story
116
381380
4614
選擇、朗讀，並錄下故事的過程，
對囚犯來說可能是很有挑戰性的。
06:38
can be very challenging for prisoners.
117
386018
2273
06:42
Prison is tough,
118
390090
2020
監獄很艱難，
06:44
and prisoners can't afford to show
any signs of weakness or vulnerability.
any signs of weakness or vulnerability.
119
392134
4837
囚犯承受不起任何
軟弱或脆弱的表現徵兆。
軟弱或脆弱的表現徵兆。
06:50
But this, this recording process,
120
398234
3015
但是，這個錄製過程，
06:53
this can be uncomfortable, upsetting,
sometimes all just a bit too much.
sometimes all just a bit too much.
121
401273
5992
會讓他們不舒服、心煩意亂，
有時甚至難以承受。
07:01
And prisoners often cry.
122
409884
1801
囚犯常會哭出來。
07:04
They cry because they regret
missing out on their children's lives.
missing out on their children's lives.
123
412741
4347
他們會哭，是因為他們
很後悔錯過了孩子們的人生。
很後悔錯過了孩子們的人生。
07:09
They cry because they're ashamed
that they've let their families down.
that they've let their families down.
124
417701

他們會哭，是因為他們
很慚愧自己讓家人失望了。
很慚愧自己讓家人失望了。
07:13
They cry because they don't know
how to go about reading to their children.
how to go about reading to their children.
125
421846
4698
他們會哭，是因為他們不知道
要如何講故事給他們的孩子們聽。
要如何講故事給他們的孩子們聽。
07:20
But because when they come to us
we offer a private space, one-to-one,
we offer a private space, one-to-one,
126
428298
5533
但是，因為當他們來找我們時，
我們會提供私人的空間，一對一，
07:25
prisoners don't need to be tough anymore,
127
433855
3072
囚犯不再需要故作強悍，
07:28
and they can use
their vulnerability as a strength
their vulnerability as a strength
128
436951
2976
他們和孩子聯絡時
反而能把自己的脆弱當成一種力量。
07:31
when contacting with their children.
129
439951
2400
07:35
I remember one prisoner
who came to record.
who came to record.
130
443977
2547
我記得有一個來錄故事的囚犯。
07:39
He was a big, hard man
with a reputation for being tough.
with a reputation for being tough.
131
447095
3751
他是個高大冷酷的男人，
以強悍聞名。
以強悍聞名。
07:43
He came along as implacable as ever.
132
451358
2341
他來的時候，
和平時一樣執拗的樣子。
和平時一樣執拗的樣子。
07:45
But when the door of the recording
room closed behind him,
room closed behind him,
133
453723
3060
但當錄製間的門在他背後關上時，
07:48
that facade began to crumble.
134
456807
1744
冷酷的外表就開始瓦解了。
07:50
From his pocket, he took
a screwed-up piece of paper
a screwed-up piece of paper
135
458909
3126
他從口袋中拿出揉成一團的紙，
07:54
and quietly began to read the words
136
462059
1670
靜靜地開始讀出上面的字，
07:55
which he'd written as a message
for his two little ones.
for his two little ones.
137
463753
4176
這是他寫給兩個孩子的訊息。
08:00
His hands were shaking.
138
468555
1534
他的雙手在顫抖。
08:03
And then, in a surprisingly quiet voice,
139
471254
2307
接著，他的聲音
平靜到讓人難以置信，
平靜到讓人難以置信，
08:06
he began to sing their favorite lullaby.
140
474572
3146
他開始唱孩子們最愛的搖籃曲。
08:10
You see, there wasn't much
that he could do from behind bars
that he could do from behind bars
141
478694
2976
要知道，在牢房裡，即便他想要
08:13
to show his children
that he missed and loved them.
that he missed and loved them.
142
481694
3142
向他的孩子們表露他的思念和愛，
他能做的也不多。
他能做的也不多。
08:16
But he could do this.
143
484860
1616
但他至少能做這件事。
08:20
Once the recording is made,
144

helps them in their future employment.

也能協助他們未來找工作用。
09:06
