  • Overall Purpose Of Rehabilitation In Prison
    882 words
    REHABILITATING OUR CRIMINALS America releases 600,000 prisoners each year, but does little to prepare them for work or to improve their unlawful habits. However-not surprisingly-within three years, many of the ex-convicts are re-arrested (Irwin 38).

    A sadistic temptress, the aid and probable prompt of an evil and cold blooded killer. Or a 'political prisoner being used as a scapegoat by politicians and the media'? This is a very sensitive subject and people often respond with fear and anxiety when we decide to examine things like the Moors murders. We are told that our curiosity is 'unhealthy', and that wanting to know, or openly debate about a matter which is 'naturally' closed, can only be the desire of a sick mind. We are encouraged to t...

Parole was originally set up to encourage prisoners to do well, keep their noses clean, and become model prisoners. Once a prisoner had shown rehabilitation an...
