‘If prisons aren’t fit for purpose,then prisoners should be set free’

INTRODUCTION

I will be sharing my standpoint on prisons. This is an important topic because Fito is a powerful gang leader so we should focus on that because he can be injuring people and that isn’t good. This is an important topic because electronic devices are banned in that prison but somehow Jose Adolfo had them in his cell. In my opinion I think that Fito’s prison cell was comfortable because he put pictures and furniture in it.He escaped on 8th January.

FOR

Some people might agree with this statement because why would you put someone in a jail cell if they could easily escape? If police officers and judges said they should go to that prison they must think that they won’t escape unless they do not know that it is easy to escape. If prisons are not reformative or secure, then there is no point of the prisoner being there. Fito escaped on 8th January but the prison he was in was supposed to be secure and reformative but somehow he escaped. So maybe the prison wasn’t secure enough.

AGAINST

Alternatively,others may disagree with this statement because they would have been put into a prison for a reason so there is no point letting them free. There still needs to be a punishment for the prisoner otherwise they won’t learn about their mistakes

and that is the point of a prison. Therefore you should still put them in prison.

MY OPINION

In my opinion,I think against this statement because even if prisons aren’t fit for purpose they shouldn’t let them free. You are only supposed to be in prison to learn from your mistakes and to have a better life afterwards. And even if they can escape some people might not want to. In the future I recommend that people go to check prisons to make sure they are fit for purpose and to make them better prisons. Only some prisons are bad prisons and there are lots of prisons in the world so if you let all the prisoners out of the bad prisons then the world would be a bad place.
