Some believe that all individuals who break the law should be placed in prison as a form of punishment. However, others hold the view that there are more effective alternatives to deal with lawbreakers. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

introduction conclusion present
Your introduction is brief and not very clear. While it touches on both views, it doesn't set the stage well for the discussion nor clearly state your own stance. Try to write a more detailed introduction that clearly outlines the views and your own position.
logical structure
Your paragraphs need to be more developed. In the first main paragraph, you mentioned some reasons why imprisoning offenders could be effective, but these points are not very well-supported with detailed arguments or examples.
supported main points
The essay discusses alternatives to imprisonment very briefly in the second body paragraph. This part of the essay should be expanded to provide a more balanced discussion.
introduction conclusion present
While you have a conclusion, it is too brief and does not adequately summarize the key points discussed. Aim for a conclusion that restates the main points in a concise manner.
clear comprehensive ideas
There are several grammatical errors and unclear sentences. For example, 'people mostly think that person who causing the crime have to be punish by put in prison' is not grammatically correct. Review grammar and sentence structure for clarity.
complete response
You attempted to discuss both views, which is good. This shows that you understood the task.
supported main points
The concept that prison can be a means of rehabilitation and education is a good point to include in your argument.

Fully explain your ideas
