Some countries use prisons primarily as a punishment for criminals. Other countries use them to rehabilitate prisoners so they can be useful members of society.
Discuss both sides and give your opinion
In many countries around the world, the primary role of prison is to punish criminals for their misdeeds. However, I believe that jails should function primarily as rehabilitation centres.
There are a number of benefits associated with using prisons for punishment. First of all, having strict prison systems has the potential of discouraging other would be criminals from committing crimes of their own. If people know that the consequences of bad behaviour are long sentences in harsh jails, they may think twice before breaking the law. Secondly, it seems that if justice is to be preserved, the punishment should in some cases be severe. For example, if a person commits murder, the families of the deceased can only find comfort knowing that the offender will pay a heavy price for their actions.
However, rehabilitation should be the primary purpose of prisons. In terms of statistics and crime prevention, it has been shown that focusing on rehabilitation is most likely to reduce recidivism rates and the amount of crime in a society. A good example of this is in Norway, which treats prisoners with respect, care and dignity resulting in one of the lowest rearrest rates in the world. Furthermore, focusing on rehabilitating prisoners makes financial sense. Criminal justice systems that take a more humane approach are much less expensive in the long-term due to the shorter sentences and the resulting reduction in recidivism rates.
In conclusion, although harsh prison systems do serve a purpose, particularly for the families of those who have lost loved ones, in broader social and economic terms, it is better to focus on rehabilitation. Therefore, I believe that rehabilitation should be the main focus of the prison system.
