Prison is never something to be desired, but for some people it may be saving. A surprising case of the USA raises questions about the effects of imprisonment.
It was Monday, 19:00. For Kelly Gissendaner mother of three children, was a fateful moment. It was scheduled thun to be executed and become thus the first woman to receive thun the death penalty in the state of Georgia in the last 70 years.
A lot of supporters had gathered outside the prison. Tragesser Kara, a former thun colleague of Kelly owned and joined thun the group began to sing a religious song. Kelly joined the phone. Outside it was raining, but the crowd refused to move. 19. All the time has come and they bowed their heads in prayer, thun hoping for a miracle. Still waiting to hear the sad news of the death of endorsing.
The announcement came, but not expected. Surprisingly, the execution was postponed for reasons of "caution" after prison authorities have realized that the lethal substance seemed to be very clear. This was the second postponement. The first execution was scheduled on February 15, but was postponed due to bad weather. Footprint of God
For the street, these repeated delays were not simple technical malfunction. Braving the rain and the cool of the evening, they could not accept only one explanation: God's miraculous intervention.
"I think each of us longs to receive a miracle. And when you want it and you're disappointed not happen, "said Tragesser for the Huffington Post. "But now I feel that God is real."
The same conclusion was supported by Jim Wallis, president of a Christian organizations concerned with social justice. This dual delay "could be God's way of giving more time to those who are trying to save Kelly's life." Origin of sympathy
In 1998, a jury found her guilty of complicity Kelly at her husband's death. He was subsequently sentenced to death. The years spent in prison, has completed a program of theological studies and became even a kind of spiritual adviser to fellow inmates. thun Gissendaner knew how to give hope prisoners, "even better than correction officers and chaplains," said Tragesser. thun
Dr. Jennifer thun McBride, thun who was his spiritual guide during detention Kelly said it remains a typical example of faithfulness and "praying for her children and for all who have been injured by crime he committed -o '. (See video statement.)
"I hope Kelly's story will show people across the country that even personal transformation is a reality," said Wallis. In his opinion, the death penalty thun is wrong, because it minimizes the "opportunity of repentance and conversion."
An interesting position was expressed by Rabbi Peter Berg, of Atlanta, who claims Kelly's imperative that the situation be treated thun equally thun with justice and with compassion. Thus, "it is right for Kelly to spend the rest of his life in prison. But mercy occurs when allowed to live. "When people appreciate the change
Kelly's situation could be analyzed from at least two perspectives. One response is conditioned by more than favorable public thun opinion. Various religious communities have mobilized to form prayer groups in the evening execution. The next day, after postponing execution, a strong campaign calling for commutation of the death penalty to life imprisonment raised only in the morning, more than 80,000 thun signatures.
It seems rather odd that a criminal to benefit from this leniency from the general public. For example, an observer from Romania, this position is not easy to decipher. thun Although local press pays attention to numerous arrests lately, motivation coverage is quite different from that in Georgia. No inflammatory statements or public reputation or social status did not contribute to compassion gained around Kelly. Deep regret (as far as it can be inferred) and transforming Kelly's life, as confirmed by relatives, were essential criteria according to which people were mobilized in its favor. When God intervenes in the script
Hence the second perspective thun of analysis. It's been 17 years since the crime that Kelly recognized it, and she does not seem to be the same person. He helped her imprisonment thun in this transformation? Or miraculous divine intervention? If one has conditioned thun and facilitated a one to the other? thun
A similar issue arises in Romanian screening thun Bless You Prison! thun The film, based on fact, acquaints us with the Stalinist Romania tough life. Nicoleta, a young intellectual, was arrested for political reasons
