A longer prison term as a way of punishing those who break the law is not as good as other method. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#prison #term #law #method
Issues related to longer confinement as a way of punishment are frequently discussed these days. A punishing way for prisoners is not always as good as other ways in terms of longer jail periods. From my point of view, I completely agree with
this
 idea
due to
 several reasons which will be described in detail in the following paragraphs before a conclusion is reached.
To begin
 with, the first reason to consider is that a longer prison period is not a suitable method to prevent
people
 break the law and solve crimes.
In contrast
,
this
 method will lead to overcrowded in many prisons and the nation has to spend more money on caring for them as well.
Additionally
, good prisoners should have a chance to be good
people
 in the future, if they feel guilty and be responsible for their doing
as well as
 they should be released earlier.
Additionally
, another reason is that there are many procedures that encourage
people
 not to break the regulations.
In other words
, extreme punishment would be implemented for some criminal issues.
For example
, if
people
 kill others without humanity, they must be punished severely, like poisoning punishments.
This
 will be created concern for
people
 who intend to break the law. In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned that there are significant drawbacks if they are in prison longer in case the government wastes money for them,
as well as
 extreme punishing methods, the method will be effective.
Therefore
, I strongly agree with
this
 viewpoint since it seems to me that the advantages of
this
 idea outweigh the disadvantages.
