"Life" in Prison

Prison was created for two basic functions--
PUNISHMENT of a crime & REHABILITATION of a criminal.

Some questions to think about:

1. Does prison do its job?
2. Does it punish AND rehabilitate so that a person does not commit the same crime again?
3. Does it offer a SECOND CHANCE to those it houses?
4. Does it change a person? How?
5. What does prison do to the family members of the incarcerated?



6. How many innocent people are sent to prison each year?
7. What happens to them? Physically? Psychologically?
8. Does anyone continue to fight for them once they are sent to prison?
9. How do they maintain hope while they are locked up?
