南非莱索托监狱:世界上最令人绝望的囚禁之地
莱索托 - 这个被南非完全包围的"天空之国",以其壮丽的高山景观闻名于世,却隐藏着一个令人毛骨悚然的黑暗面:马塞卢中央监狱。
Lesotho - This "Kingdom in the Sky" completely surrounded by South Africa is famous for its magnificent mountain scenery, but hides a horrifying dark side: Maseru Central Prison.
这座监狱被称为"世界上最令人恶心的监狱",其恶劣条件远超常人想象:
This prison is called the "World's Most Disgusting Prison", with conditions far worse than most people can imagine:
1. 拥挤不堪的生存空间
1. Extremely Overcrowded Living Space
• 15平米的牢房挤满十几名犯人
• 15 square meter cells packed with over a dozen prisoners
• 人均生活面积不足1平米
• Less than 1 square meter per person
2. 骇人听闻的性暴力文化
2. Shocking Culture of Sexual Violence
• 新犯人被迫选择"丈夫"
• New prisoners are forced to choose a "husband"
• 反抗者会遭到轮奸
• Those who resist face gang rape
• 监狱仅提供避孕套作为"解决方案"
• Prison only provides condoms as a "solution"
3. 致命的卫生条件
3. Deadly Sanitation Conditions
• 三分之一的囚犯携带艾滋病病毒
• One-third of prisoners are HIV positive
• 重复使用未消毒的囚服和寝具
• Reuse of unsterilized uniforms and bedding
• 简陋的露天厨房使用脏木棍搅拌食物
• Primitive outdoor kitchens use dirty sticks to stir food
莱索托的社会问题与监狱状况密不可分:
Lesotho's social problems are closely related to prison conditions:
• 全国40岁以下妇女50%感染艾滋病
• 50% of women under 40 nationwide are HIV positive
• 平均寿命从60岁降至35岁
• Average life expectancy dropped from 60 to 35 years
• 强奸案数量位居世界前三
• Rape cases rank among the top three in the world
尽管莱索托女性识字率高达85%(男性仅68%),但根深蒂固的性别歧视仍是社会顽疾。这个被联合国列为最不发达的国家之一,其监狱状况折射出整个国家的困境。
Although Lesotho women have a literacy rate as high as 85% (only 68% for men), deep-rooted gender discrimination remains a social problem. As one of the least developed countries designated by the UN, its prison conditions reflect the plight of the entire nation.
