Prisoners re-enter society Posted on 04-12-2008

Hi everyone, I think that every person has his right to live in a society no matter even if he was a prisoner in his early life. Most of the prisoners are racial or ethnic minorities and have difficulty in re-entering the society as they are faced with poverty and this leads to crime for which they are re-arrested are convicted and re-incarcerated and this adds a burden on the government in respect of tax-payers. What are your views on this?

I think that people who do time behind bars usually get hit twice - first, they lose most of their belongings, job, reputation etc. by being arrested, then aren't able to get employed once they are released because they now have a criminal record. As a result, there is an incentive to commit crime. Granted, there are many ex-cons with absolutely no intent of living a law-abiding lifestyle, but there should be more options for those convicted of small crimes who honestly want to turn things around. Ultimately we will pay one way or another - whether it's our tax dollars going to prison costs, higher crime in our neighborhoods, etc.
