Setting the captives free: constructing a spiritually based entrepreneurial program for formerly incarcerated personsGonsal, Dana Lee 08 May 2024 (has links)
The Setting The Captives Free Program (STCFP) is a spiritually based transformational entrepreneurial program whose goal is to help returning citizens discover, through God, a greater self-worth and purpose after prison. Using the theology of the Imago Dei, the curriculum helps them develop the three areas of the Imago Dei, the substantive, functional, and relational parts of themselves. As a means of becoming financially self-sustaining and applying their newfound freedom and post-carceral identity toward positive purposes, students are taught how to become entrepreneurs who own and operate their own small businesses. This not only reinforces their new identity but provides a practical, real-life option for economic stability and independence, with the hope of reducing recidivism one person at a time. This thesis surveys the historical and social context of mass incarceration and recidivism, establishes the theological foundations for the STCFP focusing on the Imago Dei and the Kavod (the glory of God’s divinity), and outlines the practical details of the STCFP curriculum.

"A Little Labour of Love": The Extraordinary Career of Dorothy Ripley, Female Evangelist in Early AmericaEverson, Elisa Ann 03 May 2007 (has links)
In the past two decades or so, feminist historians have sifted through the copious illustrations of the turbulent, emotion-ridden years of early nineteenth-century American revivalism to devote considerable attention to the rise of female evangelism. Despite the notable upsurge, scholars generally remain untutored about the plethora of powerful female preachers who devoted their lives to advancing the kingdom of God. This dissertation seeks to resurrect the voice of one such woman: Dorothy Ripley (1767- 1831), an evangelist from Whitby, England, whose personal and evangelical awakening rivaled the revolutionary power of the revivalism sweeping the new Republic. Citing her direct mandate from God to preach, Dorothy grasped religion and reshaped it into a spiritually, culturally, and politically altering device. She became the first woman to preach before the U.S. Congress, composed five literary volumes (most of which she published herself and in multiple editions), crossed the Atlantic as many as nineteen times, and traveled up and down the Eastern Seaboard to preach among the different levels of society in a variety of settings. As an unlicensed, unsanctioned preacher, Dorothy defied powerful social and religious conventions by her solitary travel, scriptural exegesis, public performances, and presumption of the patriarchally assigned and protected role of preacher. She strove to proclaim the gospel even at the expense of reputation, family ties, home and hearth, marriage and motherhood, and personal security. Her rebelliousness allowed her to rise above the backstage role commonly assigned to, and accepted by, women of the early Republic. Her works serve as cultural artifacts by providing eyewitness accounts spotlighting the problems inherent in the formative years of a Republic reeling with the headiness of self-rule: the tension between Protestantism and American capitalism, the conflict between an emerging elite and the increasingly dissatisfied lower class, the misogyny of the cult of domesticity and separate spheres, the embryonic stages of widespread social reform, and the virulent ethnocentrism of the rhetoric of Manifest Destiny. Through an examination of her spiritual autobiographies, this dissertation seeks to enrich scholarly understanding of women’s influence in the evolution of evangelization, abolitionism, women’s rights, and social service.

Previous issue date: 2009-05-17 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Torture in Brazil is a procedure widely used by police and prison staff in places of detention, prisoners against the descendants of the poorest parts of the population and are the merits of the torturers torturers in a situation of physical inferiority and psicológica.remonta ancient historical periods, succeeding generations and deploying the terror victims. It is used as a means of investigation, to boot confession of the victim, and as punishment against a suspect or criminal. Although there is extensive legislation (treaties, conventions, etc..) Prohibiting torture, the same can not be said with the law, since it is a crime that goes unpunished in the Brazilian reality. Intensified during the military dictatorship, persists even in spite of democracy and the Constitution of 1988. Thus does the need to combat the crime of torture strictly through preventive quoting the external monitoring of penal institutions in order to intimidate the tormentors, denouncing them. Who creates a system of regular visits to detention facilities is the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, so that they are carried out unannounced visits and regularly. The aim of this study is to analyze visits to detention centers for Prison Pastoral da Paraíba, in order to prevent torture, to make recommendations to the authorities to improve prison conditions, denouncing injustice etc. In Paraíba, this work takes place in all jails in Joao Pessoa, and the main cities, as Guarabira, Campina Grande, Patos etc. However, the visits are conducted with prior notice. So it is up to Brazil to ratify the Optional Protocol and to defend the designation of the Prison Ministry as the national preventive mechanism for its tradition in visits to penal institutions, their functional independence and political organization, etc... / A tortura no Brasil é um procedimento muito utilizado por policiais e agentes penitenciários nos locais de detenção contra presos descendentes das parcelas pobres da população e que estejam à mercê dos algozes torturadores, numa situação de inferioridade física e psicológica. Remonta a períodos históricos antigos, persistindo por várias gerações e implantando o terror nas vítimas. É utilizada como meio de investigação, para arrancar a confissão da vítima, e como castigo, contra suspeito ou criminoso.
Embora exista uma vasta legislação (tratados, convenções etc.) proibindo a tortura, o mesmo não se pode dizer com a jurisprudência, vez que é um crime que permanece impune na realidade brasileira. Intensificada durante a Ditadura Militar, persiste mesmo a despeito da democracia e da Constituição Federal de 1988.
Desta forma, faz-se necessário combater terminantemente o crime de tortura, através de medidas legislativas, administrativas e judiciais. No entanto, deve-se dar enfoque às medidas preventivas, como o monitoramento externo aos estabelecimentos penais, visando intimidar as torturadores, denunciá-los. Quem cria um sistema de visitas regulares aos centros de detenção é o Protocolo Facultativo à Convenção contra a Tortura, de modo que sejam realizadas visitas sem aviso prévio e regularmente.
O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar as visitas aos centros de detenção da Paraíba pela Pastoral Carcerária, no intuito de prevenir a tortura, fazer recomendações às autoridades para a melhoria das condições prisionais, denunciar as injustiças etc. Na Paraíba, este labor se realiza em todos os presídios de João Pessoa, e nas principais cidades, como Guarabira, Campina Grande, Patos etc. No entanto, as visitas são realizadas com aviso prévio.
Portanto, cabe ao Brasil ratificar o Protocolo Facultativo e defender a designação da Pastoral Carcerária como mecanismo nacional preventivo, por sua tradição nas visitas aos estabelecimentos penais, sua independência funcional e política, sua organização.

Outsider Buddhism : a study of Buddhism and Buddhist education in the U.S. prison systemMcIvor, Paul 28 November 2011 (has links)
Buddhist prison outreach is a relatively recent development, in the United States of
America and elsewhere, and has yet to be chronicled satisfactorily. This thesis traces the
physical, legal and social environment in which such activities take place and describes the
history of Buddhist prison outreach in the USA from its earliest indications in the 1960s
to the present day. The mechanics of Buddhist prison outreach are also examined.
Motivations for participating in Buddhist prison outreach are discussed, including
Buddhist textual supports, role models and personal benefits. This paper then proposes
that volunteers active in this area are members of a liminal communitas as per Victor Turner
and benefit from ‘non-player’ status, as defined by Ashis Nandy. The experiences of the
inmates themselves is beyond the scope of this thesis. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Religious Studies)
