Brian Davis Prison Reforms The United States of America, we the number in almost of everything, for example diversity in cultures, religion, political, and economy wise. Many countries look up to us. We are the country to beat in many thing and many see us as they idol. Surly we are not perfect but right next to perfect. Although many things seemingly well, they another things that look awful as well. I’m taking about prisons. “Prisons throughout the world hold about 10 million people. The United States has the highest percentage of prisoners in its population. Denmark, Finland, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland have relatively low prison populations” (Finckenauer). Which really sounds …show more content…
Reducing time served in jails, so many peoples are in jails, some prisons have pass the maximum inmates, and it just over flow of inmates. It does not look appealing from the economic prospective because those hundreds of thousands of those inmates need food, clean clothes, prison need officers to guard them, the officers themselves need pay to feed their families. “The American prison system is massive. So massive that its estimated turnover of $74 billion eclipses the GDP of 133 nations” (Jones). We see day to day, many people going to prisons for much minor crime activates. Like if the crime is for positions of pot/marijuana, in these case the persons should not be going to prison for such as awful long time. They should be more solutions to these case and far less sentences. If the offender has no pervious wrongdoing history, those people should do not be sentenced because he/she might be looking for food for his or her family, it maybe the influence of peer groups, might be doing it for fun, and whatever the case is. The person should not be thrown to prison but instead shown solution and way out.

Community plays a very big role in inmates’ life. One of the biggest challenge faced by the inmates is returning back to the community because most of them are treated like outcast. Most inmates or people who criminal backgrounds have the hardest time in returning to their families, jobs, schoolings systems, healthiness benefits and social services activates. These people have to help out, with those kind of thing and keep them up to the community. Open up counseling and job offering facilities. Inmates participating in educations activates and take part connecting to education, are less likely to go back to their old roots, and highly unlikely to get arrested again. Startup adult basic education classes. These kind of programs help restore humanity in the inmates who lost their faith. To help and work with them to catch up with the community. Most of the programs are designed to make the inmates more productive and improve safety before release. Another community program that would really help out inmates would be religious services. Nearly three-quarters of the chaplains (73%), for example, say they consider access to religion-related programs in prison to be “absolutely critical” to successful rehabilitation of inmates. And 78% say they consider support from religious groups after inmates are released from prison to be absolutely critical to inmates’ successful rehabilitation and re-entry into society (religion & public life).
