關(guān)于監(jiān)獄的雅思作文范文

　　In recent years, a growing number of people have begun to challenge against the existing practice of sending criminals to prison. They argue that the law offenders should be punished to do something for the public. Personally, I would side with the opinion.

　　In the first place, they can get better reclamation in this way. Most criminals are not born evil. Some commit crimes out of impulse and feel regretted afterwards. If given an opportunity to remedy their faults, they would appreciate and cherish it. Doing something for society is a good measure, which punishes the criminals and encourages them to begin a new life as well. They would not feel discriminated or excluded by the society.

　　Another reason is due to the limited jail space. As we know the jails are more and more crowded in some areas where the crime rates are high. It worsens prisoners' living conditions and causes the problems of management. Letting criminals do something outside jails not only helps solve these problems, but also decreases the cost of the government.

　　Some people may say that the imprisonment of criminals is the best deterrent to the potential criminals. In fact, it cannot scare off the criminals. Up to now, there is no evidence showing the direct link between the implementation of imprisoning criminals and the decline of crime rate. In other words, the imprisonment plays a limited role in eliminating crimes.

　　From what I mentioned above, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion that criminals should be punished to do something for the public. It can lessen the prison crowding and thus cut down on government budget.

　　Moreover, the criminal should be offered a chance to mend his way and take over a new life.
