被判決死刑者是被社會大眾所否定、並被要求永久和社會隔離的人，雖然大部分的人都會對他們避之唯恐不及，但卻有一群志工願意犧牲自己的時間、精神去為了已經沒有明天、沒有未來的死刑犯奉獻與付出關懷。本研究採用「深入訪談法」與多位資深教誨志工作深入探討，旨在研究以下四點： 一、這些志工為何願意如此付出奉獻？ 二、對志工個人及社會是否隱含了怎樣的生命意義？ 三、對死刑犯又提供了怎樣的教誨？ 四、我們應該如何面對當前的社會現象？ 經研究結果發現： 第一、志工的結緣觀念與死刑者的自我中心極具落差。第二、死刑犯普遍價值觀念偏差與缺乏情緒管理。 第三、毒品正在嚴重危害我們的社會。 第四、家庭教育及環境教育失衡日益嚴重。 第五、宗教教化與倫理教育急需強化。 本研究最後針對社會、政策、教育、家庭等均有相關討論，並提出中肯的建議，期盼對被判處死刑者、對一般社會大眾、對政策制定者能夠有重新思考的啟發。 The death Sentences prisoners are rejected by the public and required to be separated permanently from society. Although most people are wary of them, there is a group of volunteers who are willing to sacrifice their time and spirit, dedicating themselves to care for those who have no tomorrow and no future-the so-called death penalty prisoners. A deep interview method was adopted for this study. During discussion with several senior volunteers, the following four questions were studied: 1. Why were these volunteers willing to dedicate themselves to the prisoners? 2. What life meaning is implied to the volunteers and the public? 3. What instruction was provided to the prisoners with death sentences? 4. What should we do in the present as we encounter society? After conducting research, five conclusions were reached: 1. The volunteers' concept of associating on good terms is quite different from the self-centeredness of prisoners carrying death sentences. 2. Most prisoners carrying death sentences hold deviant values and lacked mood control. 3. Drugs are damaging our society. 4. The problem of education, both in the family as well as in society, is getting worse and worse. 5. Religious education and teaching in ethics must be strengthened as soon as possible. This study discusses relevant issues related to society, Policy, education, and family, putting forward sound suggestions. The hope of this study is to inspire prisoners who carry death sentences, the general public, and policy makers to rethink their ideas.
