Some people think that not all criminals should be kept in prison, instead some criminals should do unpaid work in the community. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays,

prisons

Use synonyms

in most countries are overcrowded, and

thus

Linking Words

some experts propose that

criminals

Use synonyms

should be encouraged to work in the local

community

Use synonyms

without being paid rather than being locked in jails. I completely agree with

this

Linking Words

proposal because it can save tax expenditures and provide prisoners with chances of boosting their social skills. Keeping offenders in

prisons

Use synonyms

is wasting taxpayers' money.

Criminals

Use synonyms

, after being sent to

prison

, usually lead a boring life.

For instance

, they do nothing every day except for eating, sleeping, and talking with other offenders, contributing nothing to society.

However

Linking Words

, all citizens are required to pay taxes for their accommodation, salaries of

guards, and the cost of building

prisons

. If they were able to do unpaid jobs in the

community

, they would not only contribute to the local economy but

also

alleviate taxpayers' economic pressure. A second major reason why prisoners should work outside of

prison

Use synonyms

is that they would benefit from learning knowledge and social skills,

such

as communication skills. After they are released from

prison

Use synonyms

, they need to find new jobs. But if they were kept in

prison

for so many years, they would not be capable of adapting to the new environment.

For example

Linking Words

,

criminals

who were sent to

prisons

in the

last

century would not have access to the internet, leading to great difficulty for them to find jobs.

In contrast

, by encouraging offenders to spend time in the

community

, they can keep learning new knowledge, get in touch with new technology, and communicate with residents.

Therefore

Linking Words

, these experiences have various positive impacts on

criminals

Use synonyms

. In conclusion, I strongly believe prisoners should work in a

community

Use synonyms

for free

instead

of being locked in

prisons

Use synonyms

without doing any meaningful things since it would benefit both

criminals

and society. By providing

with working opportunities, an inclusive and dynamic society can be expected.
