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

Good topic choice and summary Phoenix! The issue is you stopped replying after the second page. Keep ghoing. That part is worth 30 points.
I think, based on this information, our prisons need to be a little more strict and protected. I think, depending on the crime, each prisoner should have different punishments. Also, I think the workers should very carefully think about which inmates should room together, to limit the injuries.
I don't believe that they should be having more strict rules at the prisions because yes they could have done something very bad but at the end of the day they are still human beings. Our guards should have more protection in the prision. They should have chances if their crime wasn't severe but if ti was really bad then they shouldn't be given that oppertunites.
I think the guards should have more protection becuase there are people in prison that are just a mess and the guards don't know what is coming for them.
I don't think that they should be more strict becasue they are still humans, they may have made mistakes but are still humans. They should get more opertuintes to help them when/ if they get out. I think they should have more protection because lots of people can be dangourus.
I don't think that we should make our prison systems more strict but I do think that they should have more protection and security. I don't necessarily think prisoners should get more punishments unless they committed a very serious crime.
I think it would be good to give them more opportunities and lesser punishments, but it would also make them not mind continuing to harm their classmates or the guards since they would be sure that they would not suffer as much. We have to remember that they are people who do not care others matter. I think what is missing is for them to be stricter so that they have a certain respect for the workers and talking to them would be just as useful, it would help them express themselves to let off steam.
I don't think that we should make prisons more strict but we should make them have more security. I think they should get more punishments depending on how big there charges are and what they did. I do think the prison guards should have more protection.
I think that our prisons are already really strict when people commit bad crimes. It definitely changes some people when they are there for a few years but not everybody. The inmates who commit worse crimes should be punished more than the ones who do commit not as bad of crimes.
I think that out prisons are already pretty strict when it comes to inmates that will be there for a few years. I think the inmates that have done worse crimes should be punished more and have more things enforced upon them. I don't think that we should give less punishments.
