Why prisons dont work by wilbert rideau




















Also prisons keep the criminals, mostly young men, in there for too long, and long pass the necessity. Finally, Prisoners leave prisons no better than when they enters because there is not enough rehabilitation to change them. Rideau believes that as a community it is more effective to work to prevent criminal acts in the first place than getting tough on crime and violence. Wilbert Rideau is correct that the prisons have a minimal impact on crime because first, the prison system cannot prevent the criminal act in the first place in our society and they do not have enough impact after crime either; second, prisons are not doing enough rehabilitation, and finally, Prisons become a place that politicians avoiding the real social issues.

I agree with Wilbert Rideau's argument that prisons have minimal impact on preventing crime. According to Rideau: "The idea of punishing the few to deter the many is counterfeit because potential criminals either think they're not going to get caught or they're so emotionally desperate or psychologically distressed that they don't care about the consequences of their actions.

The majority of criminals to be sent to prison were mostly misfits and African Americans. When exiling the criminals they"re not learning how to deal with their impulses and improving their education. Politician's role in the prison system is to sell the idea to the public that prison makes society safer. Prisons don't work because they don't focus on the person's growth in prison.

Most people don't even survive in prison completely knocking down the importance of the institution. Change is uncommon in prison because rehabilitation and educated people They should be forced to work, like making parts for machines or anything that helps out society. Is That Enough? After so many instances of telling himself that he was actually going to do it, he finally committed the crime and did not take the blame at first Anderson Greg received help to rehabilitate, but if he is released, it is possible that he can murder someone else.

If he had the desire to kill someone, he can do it again. It might be more difficult for them because of societal stigma. Why commit people who do similar crimes but get different consequences? That might sound harsh and heartless, but prison is a place where people go to correct what they did wrong and then eventually get released.

Those people that are in there for the rest if their lives have nothing to strive for and might as well not even think about what they had done and try to correct it. A question that many might have regarding capital punishment is if it works at deterring crime? Studies conducted around the year have decided that there is not enough evidence, that the studies done are flawed and no conclusion….

If a criminal has done awful things, do they really deserve to live? Do we really want to waste oxygen on these human beings that clearly have no regard for other human life? Many of the people on death row have been offered second chances, but squandered those chances. If they mess up more than once, then what is the point of locking them up and hoping that they learn their lesson.

Well, killing them will not solve the problem, it would just push it away for a little while. The author explains that no amount of cash can buy back years chained in the dark. Psychopaths are let of the hook by some people, but others not so much. Bottom line is when psychopaths start committing crimes it is extremely hard to stop them from harming others in the future. Overall, Wilbert Rideau provides a balanced view on the subject, eloquently raising his points to the reader.

Furthermore, his passion for the issue is blatant as he provides practical solutions, sincerely hoping to aid the inmates unjustly trapped for life. By singling out the true perpetrators, mainly politicians and policy makers, Rideau is actually attacking society as a whole and questioning its intentions of genuinely aiming to improve and progress. However, Rideau fails to realize that by grouping all criminals together, he cannot gain sympathy from policy changers, as there is much work involved in separating the people who might have changed if given the chance, from those who will repeat doing offenses.

The writer does not realize that taking that chance can very well lead to negative results and officials cannot rush into releasing people with criminal pasts solely because the system is corrupted in a few areas.
