Criminal Justice: Rehabilitation of Convicted Felons

Introduction

While it is a social duty to convict those who break the law, the main aim is to ensure that the crime will not be repeated. Ideally, a felon should be placed in conditions where they will have no other chance but change their mind and behavior and never commit crimes. They should be allowed and encouraged to work, read books, reflect on their behavior, and understand how they can make themselves better. It will give them a second chance in their lives while making society much healthier and safer.

Discussion

Convicted felons should be able to read books, work, and obtain medical help when necessary. By reading books, they can think about their actions and understand that they were wrong. As their imprisonment terms can be tens of years or even a lifetime, they have enough time for it. Work will also be beneficial for their rehabilitation, as it makes them more socially responsible and decreases the chance that they will commit felonies again. In addition, they will earn money for themselves and remain productive for society while being isolated in prison. Lastly, they should not be rejected when they need medical aid. Most people who make wrong deals can become better, and the true aim of criminal justice is to ensure their rehabilitation to make society better and healthier.

Conclusion

Therefore, it is important to remember the true purpose of the law: to make communities safer and people better, not multiply the violence. It is essential to make sure that everyone who commits felonies will be caught and convicted. However, it is also important to organize the process so that a felon can rehabilitate and become a better person. It will ensure that they will not commit any crimes in the future and be safely integrated into society.
