S7 E7: Behind Prison Walls: Unlocking a Safer South Africa

Africa Rights Talk

In conversation with Judge Edwin Cameron, Rebecca Gore and Sohela Surajpal This episode of Africa Rights Talk delves into the often-invisible world of South Africa's prison system through a compelling conversation with the authors of Behind Prison Walls: Unlocking a Safer South Africa, Judge Edwin Cameron, Rebecca Gore, and Sohela Surajpal. Drawing on their extensive experience at the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS), the trio sheds light on the systemic violence, overcrowding, and lack of accountability that define life behind bars. The discussion explores the motivations behind writing the book and how it fills a critical gap in public understanding of incarceration and justice. With firsthand insights and reflections, the authors emphasize that prison reform is not just a matter of policy, but a moral imperative rooted in human rights. The episode offers a vision for what meaningful reform could look like, centering rehabilitation, dignity, and true safety for both inmates and society at large. Judge Cameron speaks to how his prison visits reshaped his understanding of justice and vulnerability, while Gore and Surajpal share the deeply personal stories that rarely make it into the public record. Together, they argue for a collective reimagining of South Africa's approach to correctional services, one that recognizes prisons as potential spaces of restoration rather than sites of perpetual harm. This thought-provoking episode challenges listeners to expand their understanding of justice beyond the prison walls.     Judge Edwin Cameron was appointed Inspecting Judge of prisons from 1 January 2020, after serving 25 years as a judge, the last eleven in South Africa's highest court, the Constitutional Court.  He has also authored Witness to AIDS and Justice: A Personal Account.   Rebecca Gore worked as a legal researcher to Inspecting Judge Edwin Cameron at the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (2021–2022) and law clerk at the Constitutional Court of South Africa (2019-2020). In addition, she has worked and consulted for a variety of international human rights bodies in South Africa and abroad, including the UN Working Group on discrimination against women and girls. She is currently a pupil advocate at the Cape Bar.  Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Social Science in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE), a postgraduate Honours degree, and an LLB from the University of Cape Town, where she is a research associate at the Centre for Law and Society. She earned her Master of Laws (LLM) from Harvard Law School, where she was awarded the Henigson Human Rights Fellowship. Her recent publications are: https://repository.law.umich.edu/mjgl/vol31/iss2/4/https://journals.law.harvard.edu/hrj/wp-content/uploads/sites/83/2024/06/05_HLH_37_1_Reyes-Farbstein169-206.pdf https://www.africanlawmatters.com/blog/carceral-period-poverty-in-south-african-prisons   Sohela Surajpal is a law clerk and researcher at the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services.

It's always a joy to hear from our podcast listeners and a few months ago I had an email from Childrens Advocate Tshepo Mantjie  -  he got sober by listening to a Tribe Sober podcast episode - every day for 100 days! Not only did it work for Tshepo but it inspired us to develop our own 100 Day Playlist which guides you along a logical pathways - sign up for it here.   In this episode:- shepo's first encounters with alcohol began at age 16 but were limited due to strict parents. However, university life introduced him to a drinking culture where alcohol was integral to socializing and stress relief. While at university, his drinking escalated, especially during his LLB studies, where binge drinking became normalized and part of coping with academic pressures. Tshepo tried using “the rules" to control his drinking, like avoiding certain types of alcohol and limiting who he drank with, but these rules were always broken after the first few drinks. Realizing the detrimental impact of alcohol on his well-being, Tshepo attempted several "Ocsobers" but by August 2022, after another failed attempt at long-term sobriety, he realized he needed more support In early 2023, Tshepo found the Tribe Sober podcast, which provided him with community stories, practical advice, and relatable experiences that supported his commitment to sobriety. His strategy was to listen to a Tribe Sober podcast daily for 100 days, journaling, yoga, mindfulness, nature, and sharing his goals with friends to create accountability. Tshepo emphasized the importance of supportive relationships, both with drinking and non-drinking friends, and building deeper connections beyond alcohol. His Benefits of Sobriety included enhanced mental clarity, physical health, a calmer inner voice, and stronger relationships. Sobriety allowed him to feel more authentically connected to himself and his community. So if you've been inspired by Tsepo's 100 day strategy just click on this link to learn more.

The Eli Lauterpacht Lecture 2024: 'The Right to Self Determination: Chagos, the Caribbean and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)' - Judge Patrick Robinson

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 21, 2024 56:00


Lecture summary: Part 1 of the Lecture focuses on the development of the right to self-determination as a rule of customary international law and its application to the Chagos Archipelago, Africa and the Commonwealth Caribbean. The adoption of Resolution 1514 by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 14, 1960 was a decisive element in the development of the customary character of the right to self-determination. After that transformational development it was colonial peoples, not colonial powers, who determined their independence and its form e.g. whether based on a republican system or a UK parliamentary system. Thus, after that time the colonial powers were under an obligation to respect the right of colonial peoples to ‘freely determine their political status', and any breach of that obligation would entail their international responsibility. Part 11 addresses the status of the right to self-determination as a norm of jus cogens, and concludes that on the basis of the relevant evidentiary material, the right to self-determination is a peremptory norm of general international law. Part 111 focuses on the right to self-determination in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Disappointment is expressed at the lack of clarity in the ICJ's treatment in its recent Advisory Opinion of the jus cogens character of the right to self-determination in cases of foreign occupation. Speaker: Judge Patrick Robinson 1. In 1964 graduated from the University College of the West Indies -London with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Latin and Economics. 2. In 1968, called to the Bar at Middle Temple, in which year also completed the LLB degree from London University. In 1972, completed the LLM degree in International Law at Kings College, London University. 3. Jamaica's representative to the Sixth (Legal) Committee of the UN General Assembly from 1972 to 1998. Led treaty -making negotiations on behalf of Jamaica in several areas, including extradition, mutual legal assistance and investment promotion and protection. 4. From 1988 to 1995, served as a member of the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, including as the President in 1991. From 1991 to 1996, member of the International Law Commission. From 1995 to 1996, member of the Haiti Truth and Justice Commission. 5. In 1998 elected a Judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and served as the Tribunal's President from 2008 to 2011; presided over the trial of Slobodan Milosevic. 6. In 2020 appointed Honorary President of the American Society of International Law (ASIL); in that capacity, in collaboration with ASIL and the University of the West Indies, organized two International Symposia which led to the launch on June 8, 2023 of the historic Report on Reparations for Transatlantic Chattel Slavery (TCS) in the Americas and the Caribbean, which quantified for the first time the reparations due from the practice of TCS in the Caribbean, Central America, South America and North America. 7. Elected a Judge of the International Court of Justice in 2014 and demitted office on February 5, 2024. The Eli Lauterpacht Lecture was established after Sir Eli's death in 2017 to celebrate his life and work.

Jarkesy. The Court held 6-3 that the Seventh Amendment's guarantee of a jury trial requires the SEC to pursue civil penalties for securities-fraud violations in federal court. No longer can the SEC rely on its own in-house tribunal to secure these penalties. Although Jarkesy applies only to the SEC, the Court's reasoning could have far-reaching implications across a number of federal agencies, particularly when “the ‘public rights' exception to Article III jurisdiction does not apply.”Our discussion highlights the administrative law history that was brought to bear upon the case and how it was that the adjudication of civil penalties came to be matters before non-Article III courts. We then pivot to some of the impacts Jarkesy could have in the future, including whether the Supreme Court will take up related issues of due process in future challenges to federal agency enforcement actions.Finally, we discuss Jarkesy in light of the Supreme Court's Loper Bright decision that ended the doctrine of Chevron deference and the implications of both decisions for administrative agencies and the private businesses they regulate.Gregg N. Sofer BiographyFull BiographyGregg counsels businesses and individuals in connection with a range of criminal, civil and regulatory matters, including government investigations, internal investigations, litigation, export control, sanctions, and regulatory compliance.

Since 2010, earthquake, Haiti has been the site of an ongoing crisis. At various points, key moments have broken through into global media — such as the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and the latest devastating earthquake, both of which took place within weeks of each other during the summer of 2021 — and more recent events about escalating gang violence in the capital of Port-au-Prince.However, there is much more at stake beyond the headlines, and the burden of this protracted crisis is being felt by Haiti's most vulnerable citizens, 5.5 million of whom require humanitarian assistance in 2024. Despite the increased needs, humanitarian funding has lagged for years, creating even more dire circumstances. To help us unpack this ongoing and enormously under reported crisis, we are privileged to be joined by Professor Rosa FreedmanRosa Freedman is the inaugural Professor of Law, Conflict and Global Development at the University of Reading.

Curious what kind of success students of Laptop Lifestyle Bootcamp achieve after leaving the program? This week I am joined by LLB Alum (& my bestie) Jess Thompson to take a look at her business journey and the factors that have helped her grow from tech VA to the go-to Dubsado expert for high-level entrepreneurs. From getting started before she knew exactly what she wanted to do, to niching down and upleveling her skills to stand out - there is so much to learn about commitment and self-belief from Jess's story   Jessica Thompson is a full-time traveler, wine lover, and amateur photographer. She has a sociology and business degree, and before traveling the world, worked in a law firm with the aim to become a constitutional attorney. Once she and her partner left to travel, they never looked back. When she lost her teaching job 2 years into traveling (and during Covid), she started her biz with Amanda's help! Jess enrolled in LLB, and planned on only having this biz until she could find a new, stable job. Now 2 years later her business is thriving. Jess's favorite things to do are eat and drink with her love, explore new cities, go for runs and hiking trips.      In this episode, we cover… Why Jess started a business even though it wasn't her long-term goal How she figured out what she wanted to do The process and payoff of niching down over time Becoming damn good at what you do Allowing yourself to grow and shift as you go   Quotes "Evolving my process and constantly doing that for every single round of clients that I have has helped me develop the process that I have now. But it was literally just starting and getting the clients and figuring it out"   "Whenever you believe in what you do and you embody it, it makes the difference in the world."   Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode Laptop Lifestyle Co Links: Website Instagram Tik Tok YouTube Channel   Other Links Mentioned: Laptop Lifestyle Bootcamp Jess's Instagram Jess's Newsletter Jess's Investment Guide
