Some people think certain prisoners should be made to do unpaid community work instead of being put behind bars. To what extent do you agree

Recently, the phenomenon of prisoners should be punished by putting them in

jail

has aroused wide concerns among various circles and there is a wide spectrum of opinions on the punishment methods. I am personally of the opinion that

criminals

should be doing voluntary community service for their redemption. Of all the reasons why community service is a better option

instead

of sending people into

jail

, probably the most significant one is that prisoners can have a sense of belonging to

society

. The aim of voluntary work participation is not only to improve the productivity of

society

but

also

to provide a platform for

criminals

to reintegrate into

society

. And

therefore

, by seeing their contribution to

society

themselves,

criminals

can eventually be reformed into

society

. Most importantly, it is of significance to prevent them from committing

crimes

again. What is

also

of our attention is that putting prisoners into

jail

does not necessarily alleviate the committed

crimes

. According to the unofficial statistics conducted by the University of Hong Kong, the rate of committed

crimes

in developed countries,

for example

, Hong Kong, where sending

criminals

into the prisons is the

first

choice in order to combat the

crimes

, does not go off as expected.

This

is probably due to the criminal record would be produced once the crime was committed, so that they could not able to secure a stable job in the future to support themselves.

This

in turn allows them to become

criminals

again. To summarise,

although

it can lead to a significant deterrent effect if one has been sent

, it is of paramount importance that community service has undoubtedly become an effective way to combat

crimes

.
