「母以子貴」？論攜子入監政策的健康與處遇議題【本期企劃】 試閱
The Health Issues and Prison Treatment Policies of Child-raising in Prisons
攜子入監之收容人因配合嬰幼兒照護需求，與一般的收容人相比，收容的場所設備皆較佳，作業需求也降低，使一般人產生「母以子貴」，攜子入監的受刑人特別受優待的印象。然而事實上，我國攜子入監的政策實況為何？攜子入監的收容人與受攜幼兒的處境為何？受攜幼兒本身因監禁機構的諸多限制，是否影響其身心發展，針對此衝擊，國家與社會應如何因應？本文訪談桃園女子監獄的社工師，側面觀察監所中的幼兒成長環境，並探索兒童最佳利益、與適宜幼兒身心發展的成長環境，在矯正機關中如何可能。
To carry out the caretaking of the children, the facilities of inmates who carry their children to prison are better than others, as well as the lower operational demands. This gives the general public the impression that “mothers are more valuable due to their children,” as if inmates who carry their children to prison were treated more favorably. What is in fact the actual situation of the policy of bringing children to prison? Are the physical and mental development of the children affected by the limitations of the incarcerated institutions, and how should our government and society respond to this impact? In this paper, we interviewed a social worker at Taoyuan Women’s Prison to observe the growing environment of children in the prison, and to explore how the best interests of the child and a suitable growing environment for children’s physical and mental development are possible in correctional institutions.
