It can be argued that numerous prisoners commit further crimes after being released. Various reasons can cause these felony commitments. However, there are actions that can be taken to prevent this.
First and foremost, felonies such as robbery are committed due to low income and lack of access to essential goods. Moreover, robbers and thieves are sent to prison so that they would not be able to commit further robberies and people can be ensured that they live in a safe environment. Sending robbers to jail does not give them further financial freedom. Furthermore, some might argue that after being caught and serving in prison, these criminals change and decide to pursue a healthy lifestyle and career, which is not true. After spending a lifetime making money in illegal ways, criminals will not be satisfied with working long hours in a low wage job. Moreover, these criminals will face problems finding jobs considering their criminal records. For instance, someone who has financial problems and steals to make money, will not be able to afford a living after being released and they will face difficulties finding a job due to their lack of empathy and consideration. Additionally, most people refuse to hire someone who has committed s crime.
Additionally, crimes such as murder are done due to mental health issues. These mental problems will not be solved after spending time in prison. These criminals need to be under control to ensure they will not take anyone’s valuable life. Actions that these prisoners might take are beyond control. As an example, someone who has a mental disorder and a will to murder individuals, will not change after spending time in prison and they require to be cured and helped by a professional.
In conclusion, there is a big chance that criminals commit further crimes after serving in prison because spending time in prison does not fulfill their financial and mental needs. Not everyone deserves a second chance if there is no room for change.
