It is part of a broader study looking at the consequences for these children of the parent's detention. Semi-structured, depth interviews were conducted with the prime caregivers of the child, in 1986 and then a follow-up study was done in 1988. The original sample contained 19 subjects between the ages of two and six years, from a range of contexts. In the follow-up study 13 caregivers were re-interviewed. The research was done in cooperation with community groups who provided the contacts and gave direction. Caregivers reported a wide range of factors which they felt assisted coping, with varying levels of success. Results are reported in brief before a more detailed discussion is entered into, including case reports. The most commonly cited factor was the availability and use of social support and support structures, which appeared to be extensive in most cases. Family centered coping strategies were reported to be important where they were applied, particularly if the family was able to sit down as a whole and address the problems it faced. Politically centered strategies were also used. The focus in these was on obtaining information on detention so as to make sense of the situation and the use of political structures to give vent to emotions. Other aspects of coping not covered by the above areas include strategies such as keeping a regular routine. As was found in the 1986 study (Skinner and Swartz,L., 1989), security of life following the detention was found to be important in assisting the child to come to terms with the previous stressor.

In this thesis we will describe the ways in which detainees have dealt with their experience of detention using various coping skills. Through using the psychological theory of the hardy personality and combining this with various theological categories, we will see how they could deal with the stress of detention. In this way then it is hoped that their experiences will serve as the beginning of a local emergent theology of detention experiences. We will look at how they exercised commitment, and this will be examined by the role which faith plays as an agent of commitment. Faith will be interpreted as a symbol. We will, therefore, look at the role that dreams and visions, reading scripture, praying, and worshippinq played in helping the detainees deal with the stress of detention. The control component of the hardy personality will be dealt with by showing how by exercising forgiveness, creating justice, and using community, detainees were able to feel they had control in this stressful situation. The hardy personality theory is based on an existential theory that says that life is constantly changing. We will see how Christian detainees are able to cope with change by challenging their situation through the use of a theology of hope. In concluding this study of detention we look at the real evil of detention. We will, therefore, look at the negative effects of detention that these detainees were subjected to as part of their experience of detention. We will look at the psychological categories of dread, dependency, and debility. These categories are seen as companion parallel concepts to commitment, control, and challenge. Having done this, and bearing in mind that one of our aims in doing this study is to see if we are able to provide some ideas towards a pastoral model for dealing with the past hurt of detention, we then look at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the challenges it poses for the churches. In doing this we will attempt to show how resources drawn from the faith tradition of Christian activists may be used in helping detainees do 'suffering work' and deal with debility, dependency, and dread. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1997.

Detention without trial can be a formidable government weapon against political opponents. In South Africa this weapon has been fashioned into a multiple warhead. There are currently seven security law detention provisions on the statute book, of which one is dormant but can be activated by the State President. Non security law detention, for example detention under drug laws, will not be discussed in this paper. While the seven detention laws are of varying severity and serve different purposes, they are best classified and explained under two main categories or groups - preventive detention and pre-trial detention.

Discute-se a crescente proliferação desses espaços de confinamento nos países europeus, no contexto de crise do Estado de Bem Estar Social, como uma construção de resposta política securitária às novas formas de marginalidade geradas pelo capitalismo tardio na era da globalização. Nessa perspectiva, procurou-se investigar o papel que os centros de detenção desempenham no âmbito de um conjunto de medidas de exceção contra os imigrantes indocumentados e irregulares, as quais limitam e obstruem o acesso dos não cidadãos europeus mais pobres aos direitos humanos fundamentais, como o direito de ir e vir, e aos serviços sociais oferecidos à população das sociedades de destino. Para explicar o sentido dessa política de exclusão de direitos, e inserção das categorias de imigrantes, consideradas ilegais, no conjunto de dispositivos de controle governamental em regime fechado, centrou-se atenção no estudo de caso dos Centros de Internamento para Estrangeiros na Espanha, como um exemplo dos espaços de exceção que são instituídos pela política de transformação do modelo de Estado-Providência em um paradigma político de Estado penal e carcerário. Em termos metodológicos, além de uma revisão bibliográfica de textos especializados, realizou-se uma análise de documentos referentes à legislação da UE e à legislação da Espanha, acerca da regulamentação da política migratória levada a cabo pelos países desse bloco político e econômico, e do Estado espanhol, em particular, nas últimas décadas.
