Some people think sending criminals to prison is not an effective way to deal with them. Education and training are better. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many argue

prison

is not an effective punishment, governments should sent criminals to rehabilitation centres.

This

essay will discuss the effectiveness of

this

method, will opine my opinion in conclusion.

with, statics shows that people who go to jail for petty crimes are more likely to commit another

crime

within a few days of release.

This

happens largely due to

due to lack of jobs and acceptance from the society. Everyone deserves a

-time offenders who have been charged with small-degree crimes. Rehabilitation centres will help to acknowledge their mistake and rectify it. In my opinion, it is the best way to prevent people from committing a

crime

in future. These facilities

also

provide job opportunities for reformed criminals, which helps them to turn around their lives. But having said that these facilities will only be effective for people who are willing to change their lives and want to become an honest citizen. A person who has a history of committing crimes is not going to alter his behaviour regardless of all the training and education. They deserve to be in jail to make our society a safer place for our country. To conclude, I firmly believe that educational centres are a better alternative to
