Description:

  • Clifford Larose, direktè administrasyon penitansyè, pale sou jesyon prizon an Ayiti. Y ap eseye kreye yon sistèm penitansyè ki otonòm. Pandan prèske tout istwa peyi a, se te lame oubyen lapolis ki te kontwole prizon yo; kòm rezilta, pa t gen transparans. Yo pale sou trètman prizonye yo (pa egzanp kesyon fòse prizonye yo travay), ak kesyon reyabilitasyon prizonye yo. Larose dekri chemen karyè li, soti nan jounalis, pase nan Ministè Enfòmasyon, rive nan administrasyon prizon. Li pale tou sou kesyon sekirite nan prizon, tankou moun k ap sove yo. Larose reponn ak kesyon Dominique poze l sou sekirite nan prizon Gonayiv la, kote y ap kenbe akize nan masak Raboto yo, epi li di gen mezi sekirite pou asire ke akize yo p ap sove epi pèp Gonayiv la p ap fè vanjans. Yo pale tou sou ogmantasyon popilasyon prizon, ak sou kesyon swen sante pou prizonye yo.

  • Clifford Larose, the Director of Prison Administration, discusses the management of prisons in Haiti. They are trying to make an autonomous prison system. Throughout much of Haiti's history, the prisons were controlled by the police or the army, which resulted in a lack of transparency. They discuss treatment of prisoners (including the question of prison labor) and the possibility, or impossibility, of rehabilitation of prisoners. Larose describes his career trajectory, from journalism to the Ministry of Information to prison administration, and discusses prison security, including escapes from prison. Larose responds to Dominique's questions about security at the prison in Gonaïves, where those accused in the Raboteau massacre are being held, and says that there are security measures to ensure that the the accused will not escape and that people of Gonaïves won't exercise vigilante justice. They also discuss the issues of rising incarceration rates, extended detention without trial, and health care for prisoners.

  • Clifford Larose, directeur de l’Administration pénitentiaire, parle de la gestion des prisons en Haïti. Ils essaient de créer un système pénitentiaire autonome. Durant presque toute l’histoire du pays, ce sont l’armée et la police qui contrôlaient les prisons, ce qui occasionnait un manque de transparence. Il parle aussi du traitement des prisonniers (par exemple, ils étaient forcés de travailler), et de la question de la réhabilitation des prisonniers. Larose décrit son parcours, du journalisme au Ministère de l’Information et maintenant à l’Administration pénitentiaire. Il parle aussi de la sécurité des prisons, du problème des évasions de prisonniers. Il répond aux questions de Dominique sur la sécurité de la prison des Gonaïves où sont détenus les accusés du massacre de Raboteau; il assure que des mesures de sécurité sont prises pour éviter leur évasion et aussi pour que la population des Gonaïves ne se fasse pas justice en cas d’évasion. Ils discutent de l’augmentation de la population carcérale et de la question des soins de santé pour les prisonniers.
