Nowadays, even though imprisonment is an efficient solution for preventing crime, education proved to be a more efficient one. Do you agree or disagree?

Currently, some
offenders
are jailed for their crimes which set an example for the person involved in illegal activity and other people in society that breaking the law can result in negative consequences.
However
, it has been proved that rehabilitating people involved in criminal acts through
education
alleviates their negative thoughts and gives them a purpose in life that can be beneficial for them and indirectly for society,
thus
preventing
crime
. Considering my thoughts, I do not fully agree that
education
is the sole effective method for preventing atrocity. Undoubtedly,
jail
keeps society safe from
offenders
.
Education
can still be provided inside the
jail
.
For instance
, many countries have structured
education
programs for
offenders
that are taught inside the
jail
. The
education
program comprises basic subjects
such
as English, maths, and science and skill development courses. There are days in a week in which teachers are hired to give skills training to the
offenders
in imprisonment
for example
cooking and sewing classes.
As a result
of
this
education
, many criminals can develop positive personalities and skills that can help them earn bread in the future once they are released from
jail
.
Although
the combination of imprisonment and
education
has proved to be very beneficial in declining the rate of
crime
, there is a certain
crime
that requires strict punishments inside jails.
For instance
, serial killers or terrorists with so many murders on their hands must need the death penalty and strict
jail
rules so that
this
barbaric act can be prevented by setting
such
people as symbols of misery because of their unforgivable acts. In
such
cases,
education
has the least effect on preventing
such
crime
.
To conclude
,
education
is very important in grooming a man’s character and making him learn the difference between good and bad.
However
, some
crime
needs strict penalties and imprisonment for preventing crimes.
