Some people think that prison sentences should not be used to deal with criminals. Education and skills training should be used instead. Agree or disagree?

Crime and how to deal with criminals in one of the most important issues in every society.

However

this

idea, which I discuss it in the following.

First

of all, it is important to classify the different groups of inmates in order to discuss about the so-called claim.

Prisoner

The prisoner

is a comprehensive word, which encompasses diverse types of individuals with different crimes.

For instance

, a teenager who becomes a thief because of misleading or other cultural reasons has to be differentiated from other serious or major criminals.

Secondly

, the fundamental cause of committing crimes plays an important role sorting out imprisonment. In

of their crimes. In these cases, prison not only could not help, but

also

may adversely lead them to major crimes. As they inevitably make familiar with other outlaws and

On the other hand

, some culprits are imprisoned because of financial or political crimes like defrauding the governments or downtrodden citizens. Some others are convicted of suicide and kidnapping.

However

, prison is an appropriate place for them, since they have to be punished for their unlawful actions. In conclusion, my agreement with

this

belief depends on how we classify prisoners. The fundamental reason for committing crimes is an essential element in

this

regard.
