Why jails ( re-adaptation centers) do not work ?

Question

criminals go to jail and after that they are worse.

Answer 1

Not necessarily it depends on how receptive the criminal is to turning his or her life around.  Jail offers good benefits like learning trades, preparing you for the outside world if you have been in a while, etc.  The person being re-introduced to society has to think positive and they will make it!  

Answer 2

I'd say that someone that comes out of prision and had been in there a long time they know only life behind bars, so its very scary and its not what they consider right to them i'd say?

Answer 3

If your suggest we give them lessons on how to rehabilitate themselves and cure the criminal illness that cause them to commit crime.... your a crazy liberal. Truth be told the harder it is being in prison the easier it is to figure out why you never want to go back and what changes your going to make to ensure you'll never go back.

Answer 4

Because they don't know how to live without people constantly telling them exactly what to do all the time.

It's really easy to never make your own decisions and never work for a living.

I say we should go back to branding and beating, but that's just me.  

Answer 5

Maybe rapists, murderers and the insane should be housed with understanding democrats with children in the home.  That way you could rehabilitate these poor misunderstood people.  I'm sure your young daughters would be safe after you explained that if they raped or murdered them, you would really be disappointed in their behavior.  Maybe if you bought them a puppy, skateboard or what ever else caused them to be a criminal, they would straighten up.

I suggest that you write President Bush and ask if you couldn't be host to one of the nice terrorists held in Guantanamo, after you explained that blowing themselves up and killing innocent people was very upsetting to you they would be cured of homicidal tendencies.  Maybe a timeout in the corner would turn them around!
