Correctional Offenders In Prisons

Correctional facilities continue to create career criminals rather than rehabilitate lost souls. The relationship between inmates and guards often resemble an alpha and omega status, creating a system superiority within two equals. Upon release, adjusting to life beyond bars is nearly impossible for some convicts. While life time in prison is the current solution for reoffending criminals, a rehabilitative justice system could give convicts the skills they need to return into society as productive members. Treating a criminal like an animal will only create an animal, rather than reprimand a bad behavior.
A study conducted in 2005 by the United States Sentencing Commission analyzed recidivism in state prisoners. Over an eight year follow up period the Commission found that “almost one-half of federal offenders released in 2005 (49.3%) were rearrested for a new crime or rearrested for a violation of supervision conditions”. DO NOT KNOW HOW TO END THIS.
Removing criminals from society would not only lower crime rates, but also bring peace to worrying communities. On the contrary, lifetime in prison also repossesses second chances, taking away the gift to learn and grow. Attorney General Holder explained “We have an opportunity and an obligation to use smart methods – and advance innovative new programs – that can improve public safety while reducing costs...Too many individuals and communities are harmed, rather than helped, by a criminal justice system” Not only is the convict broken, the family is too. Taking away a prisoner's freedom for life does not teach a lesson, it creates an unnecessary absence. Life without parole serves a different kind of death
