I believe that at one point or the other in ourlives, every person had done at least one stupid thing that we are not proud of, and because the law did not catch up with us, we secretly repented and chose to live right.</p><p>In the same manner, it is important that we are conscious of the fact that this criminals are human beings and if you ask them how they found themselves on the prison ground, am sure they all have a story to tell. </p><p>Prison is a correctional facility, where people who have gone against the laws or ordinances of the land are sent to. When a criminal commits a crime, he goes to court and he is judged by the jury. The juries judgement might be might be lenient or harsh depending on the gravity of the crime committed. When criminals are sentence to prison, they are not sentenced so they can be condemned, they are sentenced to be reformed.</p><p>Prison should not be seen as a place where the damned or condemned are sent to? Prison is a place of reform. In the prison, there are several programs put in place to reform a convicted fellow. Missionaries from different denominations comes around to share the word of God with them, psychologies psychs them on how to become a better citizen again. Recently I heard from the news that 62 Nigeria inmate sat for Neco examination. </p><p>At this junction, It is important that we realize that not all prisoners can be saved. Some are so hardened that they do not deserve a second chance in the society. That is the reason the prison system have a way of observing the attitude of prisoners, to see if they are responding to the prison reform program. When it is observed that a prisoner is fully reformed and changed, this kind of prisoners are released before the set date the jury set before them. </p><p>In conclusion, it depends whether or not a criminal is given a second chance in the society. It depends on the criminal responds to the prison reform program and a whole lot of other factors. </p><p>Thanks for reading... </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkc3v99d5","appParentAuthor":"abisola12","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
