Published by the D.J.I. (Dutch Judicial Institutions Services) in May 2004 to be given out at their first "Open House Day" for the general public. The illustrations are by an English artist, Henri Obasi.
I was caught by the interesting drawings in this deck. The artist had a sense of humour and that makes a whole Justice system look like it has a sense of humour, but it's all an illusion. th4mo helped me get some of the captions translated (BIG thank you!) and it turns out to be very typical institution speak. The translations are included below in white text.
The wife of a detainee is not to be envied. She is left with eventual debts, shame and the responsibility for children etc. Thus, in a way, the one who is left behind experiences a kind of punishment as well.
Four of spades:
A cell has 4 walls. A prisoner convoy vehicle has 4 wheels. With these means, the transport and support system of the DJI moves around about 800-900 suspects, foreigners and detainees daily, in order to facilitate our judicial processes.
The farmer won’t eat what he doesn’t know. This rule does not go up in our judicial institutions. There one eats whatever one is served. Only for medical or religious reasons will a meal substitution be made.
Joker:
Some people will not have to go to prison, but can be allowed to serve their punishment, of maximum 90 days, under house arrest. In this form of electronic detention, an ankle device registers whether they follow the rules.
Youth has the future. But also gets into trouble sometimes. In our judicial youth institutions we firmly handle our youth when necessary, but above all we help them to give a positive turn to their lives.
At the head of each institution there is a director. The “boss” not only has talents for management. Most of the time the director knows all the inmates and he is the one who decides, for e.g., whether someone will be placed in an isolation cell.
Isn't montecarlojoe making this place look good. I love how these attachments went in.
