In this case, a person is sent to solitary, people are exposed to drugs, and they lose their families, a few even die. On the other hand the prison accomplishes its goal of making these people capable of living in society without harming others anymore I don't really agree with that. A lot of inmates just continue in their life of crime because its all they know. We need more rehabilitation and education for criminals in prison, not drug users. Drug users shouldn't be in prison at all. | ||

You're right, many are not rehabilitated, however this specific person says he never wants to go back to prison and will think twice about doing another crime, so it does work on some people. In addition anyone who has read "Catch Me If You Can" knows that it was the french prison system that eventually reformed the protagonist. I also have to clarify that by saying the ends justify the means, I mean that the ends include everything that happened, including the psychological torment on the prisoner. Overall I agree with what you are saying. If the government spent more money trying to educate and help their criminals, then perhaps more would find a good job, kick their drug habits and become contributing members of society. In addition, fewer criminals would go back to prison meaning that less money would have to be sunk into the prison system overall. | ||

That is strange, I hope he can use his writing talent beyond prison stories. There are piles of cash waiting for him if he does. | ||
