Another reason to focus mainly on education and the building of life skills in prisons is to increase the stability of the society. Firstly, the education of morality could assist prisoners in distinguishing between the wrong and the right, and learning about significantly severe implications of crimes. In addition, some basic abilities such as computer skills and conflict solution could also encourage offenders to apply for jobs. Such actions could result in an improvement of earned income, leading to a reduction in the recidivism rate. Although some argue that the considerable investment in eduction could be increased in the short term, the potential benefits in decreasing in crime rate could outweigh the costs in the long term. The reducing rate of recidivism could, therefore, contribute to a higher stability of the society.]]> 2018-06-07 23:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208078 https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208123 One argument for making punishment rather than education the primary focus of prisons is that is unfair for the victims. This is because some murderers or other criminals have harmed the victims. If they would be educated in stead of being punished strictly, both victims’ families and the public may consider this is unfair. Some may argue that deprivation of their freedom is the strictest punishment. However, this could not satisfy victims and the public. Therefore, more punishment should be added. By doing so, a strong deterable atmosphere to offenders could be formed among societies. Hence, potential criminals would think twice before making a antisocial behavior. In light of this, crime rates could decrease considerably.]]> 2018-06-07 23:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208123 https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208140 Educating life skills for offenders can have significant impacts on decreasing the risk of recidivism. The majority of prisoners come from underprivileged families and have had poor educational experiences. Because of this, prisoners often cannot find suitable jobs and earn salaries so that they have to break the law to gain money continuously. If prisoners can learn life skills such as basic computer skills, communication skills and basic cooking skills, there would be a higher possibility of obtaining jobs because of these skills. Once these ex-prisoners have a job, they would not want to be put in jails again. Although ex-prisoners would meet resistance from interviewers because of the stigma of a criminal record, they can use their skills to start their own business such as a restaurant. Therefore, offering life skills in prison might reduce the risk of recidivism.]]> 2018-06-07 23:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208140 https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208145 Another strong argument for re-educating inmates in prisons is that it may provide some significant economic benefits. It is widely known that the enormous funding should be spent on the re-offering justice and the building the administration and security system in prisons if prisoners cannot improve their awareness in jail. This means that providing educational opportunities to assist them in developing the social responsibility and life skills could reduce the cost of re-justice and unemployment benefit if offenders cannot find jobs. While it would require considerable investment in capital and labour resources initially, the significant diminution of recidivism rates could result in undeniably economic benefits. Therefore, the opportunity of education and building of life skills should be provided in prisons for economic reasons.]]> 2018-06-07 23:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208145 dou_xf523 https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208153 One reason to encourage education in prisons is that it can decrease the rate of crime events. The generally low levels of education among crime can play a significant role in recidivism. Many crimes occur because of money shortage, and the reason why those groups choose to steal or rob is a lack of work skills to afford the living costs. In addition, obtaining cash through illegal behavior could be a simple approach to live. Moreover, if prisons still focus on punishment rather than improvement of life skills such as working ability of offenders, the possibility of continuing to commit the crime is high. Clearly, education and building life skills are necessary to decrease the crime rate.]]> 2018-06-07 23:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208153 https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208306 Focusing mainly on educational programs could have positive impacts on the stability of the society. Firstly, courses about life skills could assist prisoners in finding jobs after being released which could reduce the incidence of recidivism caused by unemployment and poverty. Secondly, training in communication skills could prevent violent conflicts , which could promote re-integration into society. Harmonious relationships could effectively reduce anti-social behaviors. Some argue that offenders may not have a desire to learn and they are unlikely to obey the educational plans. However, countries such as Norway show that, criminals who have opportunities to learn skills can change their perception and behaviors. Therefore, education is clearly a useful way to improve the stability of the society.]]> 2018-06-07 23:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208306 https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208364  The major argument in favour of offering education and building of life skills is that it can increase the stability of the society. Prisoners could have the opportunity to learn various skills such as literacy and vocational skills which could help them to re-integrate into society. With a stable career，they could not only support their daily life，but could also make a contribution to the society. In this way，they could be a part of the community. Consequently，this could create a stable society.

A range of criminals could gain employable skills from training courses such as cooking and hairdressing, which may assist them in obtaining a stable job. As a result, their standards of living could be improved because they may have a greater budget to purchase necessities, contributing to the overall economic growth. Some argue that certain companies are unlikely to employ who has a criminal record. However, all applicants should be equally treated no matter who they are. In light of this, providing vocational skills are necessary for economic growth.]]> 2018-06-07 23:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/karen_fong/i6cxq9z13rov/wish/266208405
