Does Prison Work Better As Punishment Or Rehab?
Does Prison work better as punishment or rehab? I think Prison works better as Rehabilitation because I believe; the Prisoners will far less likely carry out further crimes if there is a prominence on Rehabilitation in prison. If prison focused more on Rehabilitation than punishment, the prison system will work better in synchronization to keep a balance and social equilibrium as a whole. The lack of resources in prison can cause conflicts. For example, food and personal belongings are very important, inmates will fight and kill each other just to eat and take what they don’t have. In my opinion there would be less conflict with inmates since they would be focused more on making themselves better than thinking prison is punishment.

Punishing an inmate does nothing to deter further crime and I personally think that it’s sending the wrong message since criminal relapse is much inferior in societies that do have “rehabilitation” program. This means the rehabilitative method is more successful proud by any rational measure and therefore better, even without entering an ethical
