In some countries, prison is seen as the solution to crime. However, some people believe that giving people a better education is a better way to prevent them from committing crimes. To what extent do you agree or disagree with these ideas? Give your opinions based on your knowledge and expeiences.

In recent times, crime has increased all across the globe and many countries have implemented strict rules of imprisonment for criminals to solve

this

problem. People have contradictory views on

this

, as they think that improving the

education

system of the country will stop crime from happening in the first place. I believe in the latter part of the statement because

education

is the most powerful tool that can help criminal minds change their thought process and give them the

right

path to follow. There is no one who is a born criminal, it is the lack of teachings and guidance which leads them to choose the wrong paths in their lives. Proper

education

can help

such

individuals to channel their energy into positive things. As per a Netflix documentary on prisoners, it was observed that most of the offenders don't even know the basic difference between

right

and wrong because they had no one in their lives to guide them in the

right

direction. As it has been rightly said that " an empty mind is a devil's den".

Education

keeps the mind busy and

also

help individuals in learning the

right

set of skills that can help them to make better career for themselves.

For instance

, many countries have prisons where different skills are taught to the prisoners and

as a result

, they turn out to be good citizens

at the end

of the course and there is an instant change in their behaviour as well. To encapsulate, imprisonment is an important law in place that helps in the security of society but criminals should be treated as humans and they deserve a good

education

system which can help resolve the crime from its roots.
