problem as it creates a sense of fear in the potential offenders, others think that there are more effective ways. From my point of view, it depends on what kind of crime is to decide to punish.
To begin

with, there are benefits of giving offenders longer prison punishment.
Firstly

Furthermore

On the other hand
