Question of the Day!

Prison for offenders is a large subject.

A while ago I was reading books about people who were in prison for crimes they did not commit. Also read one written by a women starting classes within prison to teach reading and writing. She was also teaching Shakespeare. By the end of the nonfiction story, she was removed from the prison system where she was working even though she was actually making progress and gaining class members as time wore on. It seems Shakespeare's characters teach a lot about morals and crime.

I recently read or saw it on TV maybe in a fiction story of some sort; about the large prison systems that are monetarily lucrative for some states and individuals. Now I wonder how true the facts I heard are. If you are fighting money moguls, you will have a difficult time changing anything.

In some ways I agree with the movement to make the punishment suit the crime. It will not work in all instances. A lot of criminals come out of poverty, which has to be taken into consideration.

There is also a hard-core criminal population which will never be rehabilitated. People who are psychological misfits and cannot change their mental habits. Mental instability that causes physical violence.

This is a subject with in-depth parts to it. One we don't think enough about.
