It’s just a place for punishing offenders and keeping them away from the public, but the system itself is not built for rehabilitation, and that’s too bad!

I wish you could have included some statistics to back up your arguments. Are there any areas in the U.S. that have implemented similar approaches to that which you suggest? I enjoyed your post.

I think one of the main problems with the prison system is that we are classifying all criminals into one system. If we were to put criminals in prisons based on the crimes they commit, there may be more rehabilitation than just punishment. We put petty thieves that commited one offense because of bout with stupidity in the same prisons with murderers and rapists. These people will never get out of prison and have nothing to lose. All this does for the small time criminals is give them no chance ot rehabilitate. They must survive in a world where survival is not living. Put them in prisons based on the crime and we could potentially be paying less for less prisoners. Great article!

For example, the prison system in the Netherlands in Europe is quite enlightened... Rehab is high on their agenda! Food for thought.

This article is an eye opener. Guess the whole Judiciary system needs to revisit, otherwise this becomes a vicious circle. Wow, prison as an industry , never thought like this.

You can't hold someone accountable for what another person does is my point. There are ex-cons that used drugs before they went to prison and just because of the scare of going back to prison, they never touch them again. Then of course we have the ex-con that does the opposite, they get out of prison and first thing they do is go out to get a fix. Both of them went to the same prison for the same amount of time. Everything depends on the individual and if they want to change. I do believe their should be more intensive rehab program than long prison sentences for drug offenders. Some people are happy in prison and when their time is up, they try to get back in; because on the streets they have to work or steal to survive. I don't know the whole system is messed up, the best way to avoid problems is to start at the root of the cause, and that's childhood, family, and addiction. If you were to resolve problems before they happen and put more money into prevention than the prisons wouldn't be so overcrowded right now.
