A 22-year-old girl is gone, while another 23-year-old college student who used to think about how to pass exams has turned into a criminal in court. The dead are dead, and before the truth is known, the living will continue to suffer punishments that do not belong to him. Prison is for detaining criminals, or for turning people into criminals. This reminds me of the Lucifer experiment. If anyone is interested, you can learn about it. It is roughly a professor who locks a group of harmless livestock students in a set prison. Accept the life of a criminal, and finally... let's go and see
The biggest problem with the judicial system reflected in the play is that the legal judicial system is perfect.
(1) The law is equal, and the legal system is the same for everyone, not just those who commit crimes as sinners. When the mother was visiting her son, we saw that the examination was so rough that even the little girl thought it was dangerous.
(2) The legal system is complete, and its setup is complete. It requires that every identity must be present to conduct a trial, and there must be lawyers, judges, juries, and so on. However, only the murder weapon and the crime scene can be inferred to be convicted. There is no criminal motive, and the trial can be carried out without trying all the witnesses and finding out all the details.
In the whole process, we can see some social problems such as racial discrimination, and we also see many thoughts of the screenwriter on the legal system, such as:
(1) The contradiction between law and human feelings. It is reflected in the fact that you have to sue your son to get the car. The same is true in "Rain Man". At that time, I thought it was a punishment from my father to my son. Who told you to be disobedient, I will show you some color. But the show raises a question: Is this the only way? Even getting my own things back has to pass the law, and it's still worse for my son who is in deep jail awaiting trial. However, the policeman was indifferent to this, he must have experienced too much and had become numb and used to it.
(2) "Did you work hard to finish law school just to be a tool?" The judicial system is designed to send people to prison, and "justice is far away." When we try him, we learn about his entire life, learn about him, and understand everything about his past. This is a bit like a spirit Discipline, discipline technology is aimed at the entire life of the prisoner, and the investigation of the resume becomes very important, and the study of the reasons for the crime of the prisoner is also the birth of criminology. Learn about anything in the past that can lead to a crime, even irrelevant things, such as finding out why he changed schools in junior high school because he hit a person. But what does this have to do with the matter at hand? Who is not at fault? Is that all his fault? Not caused by the other party? Didn't he help old grandma cross the road by the side of the road? Convicted him of murder because of one fight? So everyone who has fought in junior high school has a tendency to violence, and should all be put in jail?
(3) "There is a completely segregated legal system in prison, you have been tried by judges and jury panels, and the results are not very good". One process of Foucault's theory of prisons is that the judiciary withdraws the criminal law from the public eye, so that people turn their attention to the trial and the outcome, focusing on his skin color, race, religion and other issues.
(4) Prison discipline. The only way to survive in a criminal group is to become like a criminal. We noticed the same threats and warnings that the prison cops said to the naz as they came in and out, there was little difference, the legal system was step by step, where people were watched, activities controlled, told you to do Do whatever you want, all of this is to control and train man as a criminal, to turn him into a criminal. "Crimes do not arise from successive exiles on the fringes of society, but precisely by means of ever more coercive accumulation"
(5) Monitoring. "Everyone is checking you carefully now, just let them see it, no matter who asks you, keep a low profile, don't answer, just take care of your own business, they just want to bully the weak" (Episode 3). At this time, he was in the most open place in the prison, and everyone could see him. He was in a panoramic open-view prison, accepting everyone's gaze, and the centripetality of the surveillance gaze also made him not become a member of the group. aliens and become criminals.
(6) GRADE. Everyone here intends to subdue him. He has only two choices here, survival or survival, relying on his own strength to fight the heroes or relying on the big boss. In the end, only the top boss succeeded, turning him into a criminal while saving him, after all, he has the highest level. The art of space allocation is a kind of hierarchy, and the condition implied in Foucault's discipline is that the high-ranking tames the low-ranking, that's how I understand it.
(7) Borderline. A lawyer who is trying to break free from the legal system, he is trying to rescue naz khan from prison, as a low-level lawyer in the judicial system, as a person with eczema, he is a marginal person in a certain space, and naz as a Pakistani Muslim is also A member of the marginalized group, their resistance to the mainstream is the driving force of social progress, and this is also the struggle of rights that Foucault wants to advocate, and correction is achieved through partial resistance of power.
Like Foucault with lots of advice: for example the third episode warns him not to learn badly.
(1) Facing surveillance. "Everyone is checking you carefully now, just let them see it, no matter who asks you, keep a low profile, don't answer, just take care of your own business, they just want to bully the weak" (Episode 3).
(2) Face the eyes. "You have to learn to look directly, not to look at each other." In prison "you have to look other people in the eyes, you can't afford anything but face"
(2) "When you go to court, it's a bit like quantum physics, you control time and space, you try to control everything, analyze everything to a certain extent"
(3) "People stare at me every day like I have leprosy, they don't want to be near me at all, I hate them, everyone has a burden to carry, live their own life, whatever they want"
everyone's got a cross to bear
