RE: How Effective is Our Prison System?

in #life7 years ago

Punishment at the end of the day is wrong and it's just not what anyone truly deeply wants. People who have committed bad crimes need to be kept secure so they can't hurt the general public. The focus also should be on rehabilitation as these people need help, they have gone down the wrong road and as a society it is all our responsibility to help the people that are suffering the most. I know it's hard to want to help someone who you think has commited horrible acts and who doesn't care but that is part of their problem, they don't care or hide that they don't care. Either way again they need help rather than just locking them up and not helping them understand how to be a kinder human being. The challenge is how of course but if governments were willing to look at alternative therapies and energy therapies then man would we see a lot more people getting helped!

entirely agree, punishment for the sake of punishment serves absolutely no purpose at all
without rehabilitation you're just spending a lot of time and money to make the system worse
