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?

There is a tremendously controversial perspective heating up a debate whether criminals should be put in jails or be educated and trained.

resort since they cannot harm society. Keeping a prisoner behind bars can help protect society. Citizens will feel much more at ease when they know they are safe.
