LET’S MAKE THE MOST OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES

Sir,

There is a big difference between prisons and correctional facilities. As far as I am concerned prisons are more like dungeons; dark, with no lights, filthy and smelling like a pigsty and in that way are a health hazard or not fit for human habitation.

The food eaten there may also be of poor quality.
What do we call people who stay in such places?
They are called prisoners since they are always beaten for strange reasons or are put in solitary confinement with leg irons and a good example of this is the biblical story of Paul and Silas in the Book of Acts.

What are correctional facilities for?
I think these are more like rehabilitation centres, where people are trained to be better people.
To be integrated into society or interact with others so that they go back to society and are productive through living pure or good lives.

Enjoy

Do such places exist today? Almost all the countries that have adopted this method of correctional facilities has seen a marked decline in the number of people who commit crimes and have to serve their sentences there.
I wish we could also do the same and who knows maybe we would also enjoy the same rewards.

Peter Sibeko,
