Question by David: What are some of the pros and cons of “prison versus rehabilitation?”?

Best answer:

Answer by Chris
Prison is cheaper, but it doesn’t help the convict assimilate back into society. Once they get out, it is difficult for them to find housing, a job that pays for probation AND living expenses, and it doesn’t help them interact with people who haven’t been on the inside again. With all the money our government keeps throwing around, you would think that they would be able to shed some money to help improve our prison system.
