For prisons to work, we need to look at what is happening inside them

The debate over early prisoner releases misses the bigger issue: the lack of adequate educational support for those re-entering society. Without proper funding for education and rehabilitation programs, many inmates are likely to reoffend, perpetuating a cycle of crime and incarceration. This situation highlights the need for systemic changes within the prison system to truly address the root causes of criminal behavior and foster successful reintegration into society. Addressing these internal deficiencies is crucial for creating a more effective and humane justice system.
