Yes or no. Explain your reasoning.

  • Yes.


    The aim should be to rehabilitate criminals. A spell in prison may be necessary if the public need to be protected, but the longer aim should be to encourage criminals to seek a life where they make a contribution to society, which to a degree compensates for the costs involved in operating courts, prisons, etc. Give the a chance to redeem themselves.
