In this article I support some of Foucault’s statement and some I totally disagree with him. This essay shall look at two major things: the experiences of prisoners in prison and the Impact or effect of the prison on its inmates. According to Foucault, he said “prisons do not diminish crime rate: they can be extended, multiplied or transformed; the quantity of crime and criminals remains stable or, worse, increases” Foucault statement above refers to prisons has structural establishment that can multiply and grow but cannot reduce crime rate in the society neither does it fulfil its purpose of rehabilitation, all it does is to expose its inmate to isolation in their little cell making them go through psychological and emotional trauma. I believe the prison is to educate its inmate but instead the inmate suffers from arbitrary power of administrations. Foucault pointed this suffering from arbitrary power as one of the ways the prison cannot fail to produce delinquent “the prison also produces delinquents by imposing violent constrains on its inmate; it is supposed to apply the law and to teach respect
Donna King (Smart Justice) described her experience in jail as “Each prison sentence I went through, my crimes got bigger. I started to learn new things about crime.” While the criminal is in prison they cannot commit crimes, however, when released a large number (44% of Victorian prisoners) reoffend, are caught, and jailed again. Society needs to accept that for the vast majority of criminals, there is no magic wand that can be waved to make them see the error of their ways and lead a crime-free life. They are unable - and do not want - to hold down a regular job; they see crime as a way of life, a source of

In Tent City felons are divided into different racial groups. These felons stick to their own racial group for safety and security. A program that could be put into effect is one that would allow the prisoners to get an education. If they get an education while in prison it would make it easier to them to get a better job when he/she is released, and possibly breaking the vicious cycle. Rehabilitation programs are programs that help the felons while they are prison.
In other words, it is a place where one should not be in. A jail is the place of confinement for two classes of people – the pretrial felony or misdemeanor detainees who are housed inside the jail to ensure that they are safely held and that they do not escape until their trial or release and those who have been convicted and serving their sentences for less than 1 year. In view of its purpose, jails do not typically focus on altering the behavior of the inmates and their main concern is to manage these inmates safely. In contrast, prisons are places which provide long-term confinement for those who have been convicted of felony for more
They STOP THE INCARCERATION AND START THE REHABILITATION 15 participate in anger management courses and substance abuse counseling if necessary, and do manual labor on the facility grounds or in the community. (Clark, 2013). Although shock incarceration is a better solution then adult prisons, it has been criticized over its incidents involving abuse of inmates by staff. (Cullen, 2012) Punishment and rehabilitation are a major part of the criminal justice system and will be effective in controlling crime if there is a way to incorporate the two factors to work together. Punishing and following up with rehabilitation through community supervision can help prevent crime.
I believe that offenders deserve a chance to rehabilitate themselves and parole provides that opportunity. The situation of parole has points of concern; the parole hearing and its proceedings, the victim, and the offender released on parole and the effect he or she has on the community. Overcrowding in prison is common among jail and prisons today. California has overcrowding issues and hopes to build new prisons to rectify the problem.
The discussion could be is that criminals are being handled well, but some say that they are not being handled like criminals. However, when you think back many years ago, criminals had no rights what so ever. The wardens ran the prison as they saw fit. As for the criminals back in the day, they would be taken out and stoned, beat, and even killed. But with the ethical treatment of criminals these days has a gentle and healthier living circumstances.
However, the implementation of; Prison improvement program has made it possible for prison to preserve the basic human rights of inmates. A prison is a place that holds people who have been convicted, or found guilty, of serious crimes, although there are a number of reasons why we use imprisonment. Customary we use prison to deter those who commit crime, and also to serve as a punishment for those who commit crime. Nonetheless we also use prison to reform people in order to get them ready for reintroduction of society. The most important thing that we use prison for is to keep people in our society safe, and to offer protection.
Affect on society Community corrections affect society because some people do not feel safe knowing that there is a criminal out and about with the freedom to do whatever, he or she pleases. A person, whom commits a crime while in the community, will return to jail to finish up his or her time that he or she was sentenced, depending on the new crime committed, whether it is the same crime or not, the offender can have time added to his or her present sentencing. Hypothesis and Effectiveness Community corrections are forms of discipline that works when it is directed toward the correct group of people. Every person deserves a second chance, unless you are a person whom thinks that killing a person, is a good way to solve
