‘Prisons are an expensive way of making bad people worse’ To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is
this
saying that prisoning people is not cheap and only makes them worse. Some folks will agree, and others will disagree with
this
statement, fortunately, I disagree with
this
opinion.
First,
in my opinion,
prison
acts as a redeeming place for the prisoners, because they will relearn society-acceptable behaviour before coming back to society.
Furthermore
, without
prison
, folk who did a bad deed will not get a consequence for their wrongdoing and
also
do not have a place to counsel them into a better self.
For example
, in American prisons many inmates are relearning religion so they can connect to better perspectives and understanding, without getting locked up, they will not have
this
kind of exposure and continue what they have done before.
Second,
without
prison
, the public will have more bravery to do bad deeds, and they will not get scared about doing criminal activities because no huge consequence will befall them.
Moreover
, with how many people live in the world nowadays, it becomes so hard for the government to take into account people one by one.
For example
, the government will get difficulty observing them from far away, which
also
generates another expensive expenditure cost to pay the observer's living wage. In conclusion, I disagree that
prison
is expensive because without
prison
the cost to observe and make criminals accountable for their wrongdoing will be a lot more expensive.
Additionally
, in
prison
, observing, counselling and preparing them to come back into society will be a lot easier to do.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
