The famous serial of nowadays, Prison Break has exposed life in jail. After seeing it, we should wonder about tough conditions behind bars.
We always think that the prison is a place for punishment. But Mr Hooks, jail's warden in Alabama considers it as rehabilitatation. "He tried to make prisons less horrible place to be locked up" He tried to provide education to inmates to make easier their life after the release, by building a library. The gouvernement doesn't want to pour into education for them because the needs of law-abiding folk come first and it argues that if conditions are improved , the prison wouldn't represent a fear for criminals, the prison is only a detterent. An study opposes the gouvernement: harsh conditions in cell would increase recidive's rate, in fact , these conditions brutalize prisoners. It's difficile whether unfair treatements raise crimes, increasing recidives, or reduce crimes, by acting as a detterent. To solve this problem, a private jail was built.
Correction cooperative of America (CCA) built a private jail near to Missisipi, in which more activities are provided to inmates (reading, sport,drug tratment, job training) . These prisons are cheap. And they respect Human Rights as public ones. The paradox is that they spend less money than the public ones. Thus the State signs a contrat with this society,CCA. Unfortunately, these prisons are scarce. It's really a good idea and an huge progress. It can also erase fear of murders to be locked up because they would feel comfortable in jail than their own home.
Anyway nobody was born criminal, it's the society, which changes a man into devil or angel. Therefore, it should repair its fault by helping him not by punishing.
