U.S.
Prisons Myth vs. Mayhem
This article is about
United States prisons are really not doing what we think they are. They are only housing a bunch of dangerous
people in one area away from society. It’s
very explosive inside these prisons because of the amount of dangerous people
in one area. This makes it not the best
way to deal with criminals and gang members.
It only hardens them and makes them more dangerous. The article talked about how we can make
criminals pay for their crime by making them repay those that they have offended. I thought that was interesting. Because of how advanced society is now, we can
partner gps tracking along with this way of punishing offenders by making sure
they do their time. What confused me was
something that confused the writer too; why are we still paying into prisons if
they aren’t doing what they are intended to do?
