the concept of prisoner rehab has largely failed...one has to be tough in prison but one rarely learns the more subtle aspects of living in society, which most of us practice with out conscious intervention... one may be a good warrior but not able to handle the tough necessities of responsibility and decision making...overcoming drug and alcohol problems and learning behavioural strategies for coping with stresses is very difficult for some people, but this may be one of the biggest factors in learning to live responsibly |

It's not suppose to. It's to keep people that cant live in society locked up and punished. |

No its not meant to. Prison is a punishment. Do the crime, do the time! |

Depends on the person and the prison. I could reform or make a worse criminal.
In fact, it goes beyond the prison walls and into how a society treats an inmate.
It is a rather complex issue. |

NO, we do not profess to rehabilitate only incarcerate and that is the way it should be. If you are dumb enought to commit a crime why should I have to "rehabilitate" you. |

Very few, the rest I think it makes bitter towards the system, I think EDUCATION would be a better rehabilitation to go with incarceration. |

Yes, but not in absolute term. |

No. Prison just produces more informed criminals. |

Sometimes it does, but I would say a majority of the time it doesn't. Oh well, such is life. God bless. |

one a person has been corrupted by the Law and sent to prison, there is not use for them in the outside world. they live a different life. |

DONT U WISH U COULD PEE ON ME

i agree with you in most cases it probably makes them more sick but then theres that one that probably does change but thats definately not enought |

I agree with Just Me, they just learn more criminal behavior, better educated in the field of how to mess someone over. |

Depends on whats in stake. Its just like being on detention in high school. Some people will stop talking in class and others wont. Its also like fighting in school, you will stop if you dont want to get suspended and then have to repeat the same grade over again. Its just like being in college and party all night and fail classes, you will stop after a while if you see it affecting you. |

Yes if the person follows his conscience that in every offense there is an equivalent corrective measures. While the person is in prison he can regain his dignity by way of true repentance not to do the wrong he has committed. He has to amend his life and ask pardon from God and from the victim. |

No, they should let them suffer in jail! The criminals will go back to killing ppl if they're let out. Maybe if they are lucky, they can move to solitary confinement. lol |

No, it turns them into hardcore criminals. |

no. it contains them. look up the site unicore.com which is a corporation that controls prison labor. this company is in the stock market. now how many regular hard working people can afford to invest in the stock market? how many even realize what is really goin on? do the math, the more people to be prisoned, the more workers working for the unicore, the more work done, the more money the corp will make, the more money the corp makes, the more money the investers make, and who are the owners of the corp? the investers of the corporation. and who are the investers? most likely not the ones being locked up or your average person with an average income. |

Any kind of rehabilitation can only begin with the criminal themself.... it is not up to anyone else to dictate how they wish to proceed for thier life. If the criminal wishes to become something more than they are, they will have that mind set and will find the path to do so |

No, it teaches them how to be better criminals. Rehabilitation requires education and job training so they can be self supporting after they are released. |

I think prison is the worst form of tourtue there can be. BUt its hard to say what to do to chage it becuase fact remians that theres people in this world that dont need to be in society.
I say that you should kill all the rapeist and murders, but then theres people who say "how can you teach that killing is wrong by killing?"
either way i know prison can make someone go crazy. You gotta be reeeal stroing to come ouit the same.
And people hardly EVER come out "rehabilitated". |

No, my friend went to prison for drug related offenses(distibution and trafficking charges), and when he got out he started doing bank robberies, now hes back behind bars learning more tricks of the criminal trade.
Kimon makes a very insightful point. |

Some yes, some no. Some inmates are going about their business, working hard, and are interested in getting out and never returning to prison. Others use their prison terms to get better educated at doing crimes, learning from more advanced criminals.
Either way, look at recidivism rates and that should help answer your question. There was a study that yielded scary results: From 1983 to 1994 over 100,000 inmates were tracked across 15 states in the U.S.A. Two-thirds of them were re-arrested within THREE years of their release from prison.
Maybe 1/3 of them were "rehabilitated." |
