Sending criminals to prison is not the best method of dealing with them. Education and job training are better ways to help them. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Imprisonment is not a sensible way to treat offenders.

Instead

, the responsible way is to educate them and

then

train them for some kind of jobs.

This

essay completely disagrees with

this

and I intend to justify it in the following paragraphs.

First

and foremost, the purpose of imprisonment is not just to isolate the criminals. The offenders should

also

realise their mistakes before being released. So, they do not become a lawbreaker again, if encountered with a similar situation.

For instance

, studies show that 80% of the lawbreakers who completed their punishment did not indulge in any criminal activity after being released, because they knew the consequences of breaking a law.

In addition

to that, confinement of an offender

also

takes care of the fact that while being in prison he/she can not do any harm to the society.

Furthermore

, punishing an accused

also

serves the purpose of justice given to a victim.

For example

, one of my friend's father was murdered by some miscreants. He had to fight that case for 10 years to prove them of guilty. For him, the justice was delivered on the day when all of them were sentenced for 20 years of confinement. To conclude, imprisonment not only serves the purpose of a punishment for an offender it is

also

a way to deliver justice to a victim and his family.

Moreover

, it

also

gives an opportunity to the criminals to realise their mistakes while being in isolation. And at the same time, it

also

sets an example for others.
