Document Summary

Very important to think about what it is like after you leave prison. Likelihood of success of maintaining a non-criminal life. Why the public should care about prisons (toronto star, june 2013) The care of the prisoners is paid for by taxpayers so we should care about where are money is going. We should focus on their care and well being because if they are treated badly then its just going to cause a problem when they get out of jail. Just the fact that they still have rights as a person. Lives of the correctional officers are impacted if its an unhealthy environment to work in, can effect everyone. Problem of misuse of force by guards. Enormous amount of tax dollars are paid on prisons so we should know exactly what goes on. A lot is hidden about what happens in prisons and controlled. The number of clients processed and managed by the system is increasing.
