RE: Do prisons truly reform prisoners? What do you think?

in #life5 years ago

Thank you @focusnow, the thought of human reform via prisons service. In my pondering over this issue, I have concluded that no method will provide 100% solution as regards reform targets, because we have seen people from the aristocratic families involved in crimes we can't really place why they do so. The loved ones involve in crimes also. The poor ones also do crimes, having stated this first, one method can't apply to all. Consider a young lady who likes have sex, but hates having children, she gives birth and through them away, how do you reform this category of criminals? More than a 100 thing brings people to prisons, so more than a 100 methods will have to be applied (that sounds hilarious though).

Having said all these, I will like to make the following submissions concerning prisons reform....;
Firstly, the reform must come first in the prison system itself, this involves #1 Reforming the prison orders, the reform modules, #2 training and reforming the prison workers also.

Secondly, Love concept must be adapted. The greatest weapon and pathway to transformation.

Thirdly, intelligence must be given regards and Intelligents employed... Like in my country, the workers have no intentions for reform of inmates, just a poverty alleviation scheme, such can't help.

Lastly, you can't keep someone who robs to feed for 10years and release him poor and poorer, expecting him to go and feed how, he will be more furious.
I want to conclude by saying that it's more of having a cobra effect on the society.

True @chegbe. There seems to be no universal formula for prisoner reform. But like you rightly pointed out, the concept of love, plus other things could help to reach the heart of prisoners. Ofcourse, I still think that each prisoner is unique. So the techniques should be adapted to match their personalities.
