A large percentage of ex-prisoners reoffend shortly after being released from prison. What do you think are the causes of this? What steps could be taken to try to reduce the reoffending rate?
It is no doubt that after committing serious crime, criminals should get punishment for the misdeeds they have done. As a punishment they may often sentence for many years in prison. So the law abiding people in society may relieved by assuming that they may be safe after criminals being punished, hoping these offenders will reform after spend years in jail. But in certainty, due to release on parole and rejecting by the society may often cause them to reoffend crime, soon after their release from prisons.
We must acknowledge that prisons attempt to rehabilitate the offenders during their sentenced period. But in the reality these criminals may apply for parole and may release before even end of their sentence. Therefore prisons may fail to rehabilitate them and these criminals may continue to commit an offence shortly after being released from the prison.
Secondly, even after release by the end of the sentenced period, ex-offenders try to re-enter to society and try to be a better person. But actually they often become victims themselves by unable to find work and incapable of having normal family life and often rejected by the society. This will soon cause the ex prisoners to commit crime again and end up in the prison all over again.
As a solution, many people believe that offering more severe punishment like corporal or capital punishment will solve this problem. But as a humans idea of beating and executing someone is repellent to human being. Instead of that, charge them with large sum of fine or offer them to community service are better alternatives to reduce reoffending rate in the society. However I prefer not to rough only on the criminals but on the root of the crime itself. We should spend less money on lawyers, police or whoever work on the legal system and put the money instead of supporting deprived areas which are the breeding grounds for crime. These will help to reduce reoffending rate in the society in future.
