(p. 105-106) Knowing that policymakers do not give much thought towards bettering and reducing prison populations, it is now understandable why the “institutions” are used as a crutch to cover a major issue in the US’s criminal justice system. Reverting back to the main issue of what prisons are for, there really is not a clear answer so far. Even though there are facts of how incarceration works, there are facts and released felons with no kind of aid that shows that just incarceration for a number of years does not suffice either. The issue of incarceration desperately needs to be brought up more with policymakers to ensure that crime rates significantly go down. It is actually disheartening to even believe that felons and those who are not the same person as they were when they committed their crime are not receiving help to actually better transition into modern society. Hopefully, this issue can become significant as time
