Some people think certain prisoners should be made to do unpaid community work instead of being put behind bars. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is considered by some that there are some prisoners who ought to be made liable to unpaid local

work

rather than sentence them to

prison

. I completely agree with

this

view and

this

essay will discuss certain reasons for it.

Firstly

, some low-level criminals should not be incarcerated, as their violent nature can be eliminated when they

work

without being paid. There are offences

such

as street crimes, and other violent offences, which can be avoided if criminals are involved in the unpaid local

work

.

This

, in turn, means they would realise the importance of

work

and its benefits, as they would experience the employment life and think about working in the future for themselves.

This

would, in turn, foster a sense of responsibility in them. A recent survey by the International Law Firm,

for instance

, showed a report that 960 men, out of 1200, opt for a job and left

street

the street

and the low-level offences, due to spending 6 months in some unpaid

work

, they are made liable to.

Secondly

, the minor level criminals should not be put behind bars, as

this

will exacerbate their violent nature. The low-level offenders when

spend

spends

time in the

prison

with the high-level offenders, may learned extreme criminal acts from them, which would make them

to think

think

about harsh offences.

This

, in turn, means when they are released from prisons, they are highly likely to opt for serious crimes. A study by the Michigan State University,

for example

, showed that street

crimes

offenders in 2014 who were put in

prison

with murderers and smugglers when released later from jail, act usually to

other people or involving in smuggling. In conclusion, it is believed by some that some low-level offenders should be made responsible for unpaid

work

in

community

the community

instead

of sentence them to

prison

. I fully agree with

this

notion, as they would realise the critical aspect and need of employment in the future and abandoned criminal acts as well as it is necessary to avoid incarcerating them, as putting them behind bars may convert them into a dangerous
