《中英對照讀新聞》Prisoner surfs out of Norway jail 囚犯以衝浪板逃離挪威監獄
◎魏國金
A convicted sex offender has escaped from a Norwegian island prison on a surf board, using a plastic shovel to paddle to the mainland, officials said on Wednesday.
一名性侵受刑人以一塊衝浪板從挪威一座島嶼監獄脫逃,他用一個塑膠鏟子划到本島,官員週三表示。
The Bastoy low-security prison, famous for organic farming and allowing inmates to watch movies, go cycling and use local beaches, has no fences and is often held up as the ultimate symbol of Norway’s emphasis on humane incarceration policies.
戒備鬆散的巴斯托監獄以有機農作以及讓受刑人看電影、騎單車與使用當地海灘聞名,它沒有柵欄,常被作為挪威強調人性化監禁政策的終極象徵。
The inmate, a man in his mid 20s, was not considered a danger to the general public. He went missing during the night, and a surf board and shovel belonging to the prison were found on the shore of the mainland about three kilometers away.
這名25歲左右的男囚犯未被視為將危害一般大眾。他在夜間不知去向,一塊監獄所有的衝浪板與一支鏟子,在約3公里外的本島海岸被發現。
With serial killers, rapists and drug traffickers typically among the criminals serving on the island, doing farm work, cooking and other practical tasks, the emphasis of the prison is to prepare them for an eventual return to normal life.
在島上服刑的典型罪犯包括連續殺人犯、強暴犯與毒販,他們從事農務、烹飪以及其他實用工作,該監獄的重點是為他們最終回歸正常生活做準備。
The small, picturesque island is connected via a dozen daily ferry departures, mainly for employees and visitors. Escapes, are rare, and when an escapee is caught it’s unlikely he will be allowed to return to Bastoy. "There’s no return ticket if you run away," prison chief Tom Eberhardt said. (Reuters)
這個風景如畫的小島透過每日發船12次、主要搭載職員與遊客的渡輪與本島聯繫。逃獄非常罕見,而當逃獄被抓,不太可能被允許回到巴斯托。「你要是逃跑,就沒有回程票,」典獄長湯姆.艾伯哈特說。(路透)
