There are many pros and cons of our American prisons as it's a very bad place to be but the cruelty of prisons also makes people not want to go to them. But in some situtions such as framing and getting punished unfairly theres no avoiding prison time. Should we change our prison systems is the big question though. Even if we were able to change our prison systems how many diferent rules would have to be changed and how much would it cost?
Our prison systems are very oftenly not properly watched causing abuse and bullying in prisons. With this happening it could cause people that commited small crimes to be stuck with criminals that commit terrible offenses such as murder. This could cause those criminals to have trauma or even worse become worse crimals themselves having to deal with these worse criminals. As well as people that didn't even commit crimes and got framed. Have to deal with abuse and other issues with their inmates that actually belong in prisons.
Why do we have to have these strict and brutal prisons while other countries have more relaxed prisons and keep inmates safe while making them better people. Such as Norway instead of just throwing there criminals into cages and punishing them they try to turn them into good people and talk to them about their issues and get them help. While our prisons make our people worse and create new crimals. Especially when you give crimals life sentences as they will just cause problems in the prisons.
Our prisons and prisoners are so bad that prisoners oftenly attack gaurds and sometimes cause severe injuries. This shows that sometimes our prisoners deserve to be in prison with the terrible conditions as these conditions cause them to not want to come back or make other people ever want to come in. As well as when our countries crimals commit bad crimes we make sure they go to a bad place as a punishment and if they ever get out they hopefully stay on track and become better people instead of continuing there before crimes. If our prisons punishments were to light our people just wouldnt care about going to prison and would commit crimes and not care and our inmates wouldn't learn.
There are many diferent reasons why are prisons should be changed but theres also many reasons they should be kept as they are or maybe even made more strict with crimals becoming younger and younger in our current ages maybe we should spread our prisons to more strict to keep people from commiting more crimes

I think having a strict persion is good because it would inspire to not go thier again and be challenging. The offciers should be more productive gear and other things to be sure and being safe in the area. I dont think we should have lesser punshments
I think that prisons as they are are perfectly safe in the sense that people are staying there. Of course people are fining ways to smuggle in drugs or other items, but I think that they do their job. I know that inside certian prisons are not clean or healthy, with conditions or people constantly getting hurt or in fights.
I don't think our prisons need to be more strict, as they are already pretty strict. I think there is certain things we can change but not the whole prison. I think prison guards could have a little more protection. I think more chances could be good.
I think making our prisons more strict would not do that much which is why I dont think we need to do that as they are already pretty strict. I think prison guards should have more protection depending on their role in the prison and which prison they work in.
I don't think we need to make prisons more strict, as they are already pretty strict as is. There would be certain things I would change though, which could seem more strict than how they are. Prison guards should have more protection, I've heard many stories there guards could have used more protection.
I think that the prisons are pretty strict as of right now, I mean they could always make them a little more strict and secure if they wanted to. I do think that it would not hurt for the guard to get more protection. The guards have a lot on their plate throughout the prison, it can be a very dangerous job.
I think that prisons are stricted enough. I do think that prison guards should have more protection because sometimes the prisoners can group up and attack the prison guards. I feel like they should get another chance depending on what they did.
I don't really know if we should make it better but I am sure that it would help. I think that our prison gards could have more pretection and I think that it wouold help. I think that it depends on what they did and why they would even need to go to prison.
I think that our prisons are pretty strict right now, even though there are escapees. I'm not sure if the guards should get more protection, because on the one hand- they are getting attacked regularly and it is dangerous for them, however on the other hand- some guards might use it in a bad way, like in the Stanford Prison Experiment.
I think some prisions are very cruel, but some people there are extremley cruel. So, it is fitting for them. I think guards should have more protection ecspecially in high danger situations and people. I think certain people deserve more chances, but some dont.
