“If prisons aren’t fit for purpose the prisoners should be set free”
This post was written by a student. It has not been fact checked or edited.
I will be sharing my standpoints on prisons.This is an important topic because Fito, the leader of the Los Chronos gang, has escaped from prison and this wanted criminal is a dangerous one. Fito’s prison cell was extremely comfortable and supplied with weapons and phones. This incident has got me thinking about the statement “If prisons aren’t fit for purpose then prisoners should be set free.”
Some people might agree with this statement because if the prisons aren’t reformative, then prisoners won’t learn from their mistakes.Furthermore, it won’t be secure so they will keep on escaping. Moreover it will mean that people could be partying instead of learning their lesson.
Alternatively, others may disagree with this statement because even if prisons are not secure, they have a place to stay and justice will be served. Furthermore, they won’t cause any trouble in other places.They also have a chance to make up for their mistakes.
In my opinion, I think that I disagree with this statement because if criminals are not arrested, then they would not learn from their mistakes. may still hurt other victims. Moreover, if criminals keep on hurting victims more people will have to go to the hospitals and it will become extremely busy. In the future, I am hoping that the prisons in Ecuador become more reformative and secure.
