By Mehedi

Introduction

From the dungeon of the ancient society times to the modern-penitentiary, we feel the necessity of rehabilitating criminals in a secluded place from the society. People who violate the law should be kept somewhere away from the normal society to teach them the value of law, and how should we obey norms.

Problem:

It is  observed that poor management and maintenance o prisons can produce crimes rather eradicating them.  Especially prisons in developing countries are unable to accommodate and feed criminals. Being nurtured in inhuman situation, prisons inmates learn nothing about humanity and returned to the criminal life. And lack of prisons in the third word also encourages people to commit crimes. In addition, some dangerous criminals with incorrigible psychological attitude should be queued in death row in some developed countries help to encourage criminals to crimes.

Solution

Prisons like hospitals can help people from the psychological malfunctioning of criminals. Moreover, we show one of the best qualities of human being, forgiveness by rehabilitating criminals in prison. In an ideal prisons in-mates are fed, sheltered and taught life skills that can help to find other jobs than crime. In addition, a good prisons  treats its mates psychologically and morally, and helps them to overcome the tendency towards crime. Some prisons in the first world as well as in  country like Brazil allow the prisoners to live along with their family, children and teach them the value and respect of crime free normal lives.

In my opinion, human understands the necessity of prisons of a prison since ancient times. We should rehabilitate criminals from all age group and both sexes with proper conditions to teach the in-mates the value of a crime free -social life and ultimate respect for law and order.
