I strongly agree with people who say prisons don't make criminals better. Я согласен/согласна с людьми, которые говорят, что тюрьмы не меняют преступников к лучшему. In my opinion, it's just a waste of government money and is a danger to society. Я считаю, что это просто трата гос денег и угроза для общества. First of all, inmates go through stress and rough long sentences, which cannot leave them unaffected. Во-первых, заключенные испытывают стресс и проходят через тяжелые, долгие заключения, которые не могут не повлиять на них. They leave prisons with mental scars and no job opportunities, which will only make them commit more crimes. Они покидают тюрьмы с психологическими шрамами и без возможностей найти работу, что только заставит их совершать больше преступлений. Secondly, people are scared of ex-convicts. Во-вторых, люди боятся бывших заключенных. Even if a criminal has turned his back on crime, he'll most likely be left alone, if not get harassed. Даже если преступник поставил крест на криминале, он наверняка будет одинок или даже будет получать угрозы. In conclusion, prisons do not change people's behaviour. There should be a different way out. В заключение, тюрьмы не меняют человеческое поведение. Должен существовать другой выход.
