Some people think that offenders should be put in prison. Others, however, believe that providing offenders with education and training is more effective than putting them in prison. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

There are valid arguments about how to deal with

criminals

. Some people say that they should be imprisoned,

while

others think rehabilitation programmes are an efficient solution. I will discuss both views in

this

essay. On the one hand, it is essential to imprison

criminals

in order to uphold the rights of the victims and to ensure that those responsible for the

crimes

are held accountable.

This

is especially important when it comes to felonies,

such

as murder, rape, or robbery, which have profoundly negative impacts on both the victims and society as a whole.

Furthermore

, to curb the crime rate,

crimes

should be strictly punished by

prison

sentences to set examples for others if they intend to commit a crime.

For example

, there are many public trials to show how

criminals

are punished by imprisonment.

On the other hand

, rehabilitation is another solution for those

criminals

who commit less serious

crimes

. Let's take shoplifting

crimes

as an example. Judges should consider the motivation of

crimes

, which in

this

example may stem from unemployment. In that case, judges can give offenders vocational training in

prison

so that after the end of their

prison

term they may find a job for their living.

In addition

, young offenders have a long future ahead of them, so they should be given a different trial compared to adults’ trials in which education and training may be prioritised, ranging from reform schools to counselling juvenile delinquency programmes.

As a result

, they can integrate into the community again and become responsible members of it. In conclusion,

prison

sentences are a crucial way to maintain social order and security.

However

, I think to address the problem of the reintegration of

criminals

into society after serving

prison

sentences, rehabilitation programmes should be given to them associated with detention.
