In
the
public
mind
，
a
prison
is
a
place
to
keep
those
who
have
done
wicked
things
in
captivity
．
In
order that they will not
contaminate
law-
abiding citizens
．
However
，
there is a
growing
concern in these years that imprisonment is a less
effective form of
punishment
，
and
some
alternatives
seem
to
promise
more
satisfying
outcomes.
I
agree
on
this
proposed
change
，
with
evidence that imprisonment can be merely taken as
the last
resort
．
Education
is
of
critical
importance
to
rehabilitating
an
offender
.
It
first
changes
delinquents
’
attitudes toward society and
family
，
a
prerequisite
to their
reintegratio
n
into the
community
．
It
meanwhile allows them to keep in contact with the
community
，
an opportunity
that prisoners are normally deprived
of. With the passing of
time
，
they lose confidence
and the
ability
to
function
pro-socially.
The
risk
of
re-offending
is
thus
higher
．
The
third
benefit
is
preventing
offenders
’
peer
group
effect
，
because by receiving
education
in a proper
learning
environment
< br>，
offenders have lower chance of
reinforcing each other
’
s
antisocial and criminal

behaviours in group
situations
．
Similar
to
education
，
work
is
one
of
the
most
important
interventions
in
corrections
，
whether
it
takes
the
form
of
work
release
or
vocational
training
．
Money
is
the
main
inducemen
t
of
many crimes
，
such as shoplift
ing
，
robbery
，
burglary
，
and so
forth
．
Job training
enables offenders to acquire earning
capacity and improve job
skills
．
By this they can
become
productive
members of
society and
have the
opportunity to behave
normally
towards
family
or
occupation or
society
．
Greater post-release
employment success will
，
in
general
，
lead to a
lower rate of
recidivism
．
However
，
to those
habitual criminals
，
who have
committed crimes repeatedly and show
little respect
for the
legal
system
，
education and
job training
might
not
make any significant
difference
．
This
category
of
offenders
gives
little
thought
to
their
past
or
future
．
Their
behaviours
and
thoughts
are
deeply
ingrained
and
unbending
，
in
which
circumstance
imprisonment
is
the
best
way
of
keeping
them
from
being
perpet
rators
．
Meanwhile
，
imprisonment has deterrent effects and
can deter potential
offenders from
becoming actual offenders
．
To
sum
up
，
it
is
clear
that
the
results
of
imprisonment
can
be
mixed
and
it
is
only
effective
in
restricting
those
who
are
very
likely
to
commit
repeated
acts
of
violence
．
By
contrast
，
education
and
vocational
training
suit
those
who
committed
less
serious
crimes
，
preventing
them
from
becoming
re-offenders
after
release
and
assisting
them
to
reorganise
their
lives
