Reform and Deter the Majority of Prisoners

Responsibility for violation of the law is still synonymous with deprivation of liberty. Meanwhile, many lawyers have long recognized the unreasonableness of the punishment, and consistently released sentenced from prison. The theory of “crisis of the punishment” recognizes the prison system a form of social virus, the spread of which leads to a serious illness of society. This paper describes fails to reform and deter the majority of prisoners.
