Band 5

Some people think that lawbreakers should be sent to prison. However, others think that better talents among those should be made to work. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some people argue that talented lawbreakers should be sent to work rather than given a
prison
sentence
.
However
, I have the same opinion with those who insists all the criminals should be sent to
prison
 as the
punishment
 for them to commit a crime. Criminals should be punished for their behaviours and know that unlawful actions have consequences, and
prison
sentence
 can act as a good
punishment
 and an alert. On the one hand, they will lose freedom to pay for their mistaken behaviours,
as a result
 of being separated from family and friends.
On the other hand
, they cannot get wage and even may face the conditions of losing jobs as they have no access to working. Though those who have better talents can have made contributions to their own areas,
this
 should not be the excuse for them to avoid the
prison
sentence
. Several reasons support
this
 idea,
firstly
, different sentences for different talented people will greatly violate the justify and fairness of the
law
.
Secondly
, talented criminals only paid very little for breaking the
law
. They still have freedom and they can work as usual.
This
 kind of
punishment
 will not make them realise their mistakes and
can not
can not
cannot
 deter them from making mistakes, even making them to commit heavier crimes. All in all, I believe
prison
Suggestion
the prison sentence
sentence
 can act as a deterrent
for
Suggestion
to
 criminals and make them
thinking
Suggestion
think
 carefully before crime. Different
punishment
 for talented lawbreakers, not only cannot make them realise the huge cost of breaking the
law
, but
also
 deteriorates
law
 justify.
Therefore
, I do not agree the point that those with better talents do not need to be sent to
prison
.
