EP48: Punishment, Justice, and the Question of Reform | Art Inside Prison with Zeina Daccache

Dana Alhanbali
1 day ago

Trigger Warning:
This conversation touches on sensitive topics including incarceration, trauma, sexual violence, and mental health. Please take care while listening.

 


In this different and deeply sensitive episode of Something to Consider, we open space for an honest conversation about punishment, justice, and what reform truly means.

 


Our guest, Zeina Daccache, is a drama therapist and social activist whose groundbreaking work brought theatre into Lebanese prisons transforming art into a tool for understanding, accountability, and real systemic change. 

 

This episode is not about justifying crime. It is about questioning the systems that fail people long before the crime occurs. It is about empathy without denial, accountability without dehumanization, and justice that asks whether punishment alone is enough.

 

We discuss incarceration, trauma, rehabilitation, collective pain, and the invisible prisons many of us live in every day. 

 

A powerful Arabic-language conversation for those willing to sit with discomfort and reflect on what justice truly requires.

 


We hope you will find something to consider.
