Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation

     The current prison system is set up to comfortably house and re-group smaller gangs of what is out in

the streets. Its an environment for gang members to re-amp an re-group to come out and continue gang

violence in the streets. This system does not stop gang activity, it continues on away from the streets and into

the prison system. Gang members are not prevented from engaging and priding themselves in the gang

lifestyle while in the prison system. The system is set to fail in stopping gang violence nor does it push

rehabilitation strong enough to give inmates a true fighting chance to live the gang life. The problem with the

current prison system is that there is no focus on rehabilitation for criminal activity. The criminal activity in

society would be reduced massively if more time was spent on rehabilitating people in our current prison

system. Time spent in prison or jail is for punishment of a crime committed  Individuals must do an equal

amount of hard time for a crime committed  By no means should it be easy time these systems were put in

place to serve out a punishment not to make a second home for criminals to kick back and pass the time.

The time spent in rehab should be more concerned for the inmates emotional, psychological and physical

needs to prepare them to be a more civilized person of society. We are talking about humans here, not

animals and a matter of fact most people in America would treat an animal much better than an ex-convict.

This being the case how much more should we believe that more rehab is the answer; if many people would

give their hearts out to an animal but not a human being with feelings, emotions, a heart and a soul. If you

touch a humans heart you touch their soul and that's where the change begins.
