  Take Action on Long-Term Imprisonment

  This is a heart-rendeing issue. On one hand it is inhumane to the young man whose life is counted lost to society through prolonged imprisonment, but on the other hand is the reason he was locked up in the first place. He caused harm and heartbreak to others, and broke the law. The question is when is punishment enough? When one considers that some crimes caused permanent damage from which there is no opportunity for healing.The offender has lost his place in normal society and so has the victim, who in many cases is not around to tell us how badly this miss theior loved ones and families.

  
  

  Ultimately, education needs to be reformed in order that the young grow up knowing that going to prison is throwing away your life. There is no escape from justice. They must be made  to understand that the penalty for certain crimes is harsh, and necessarily so. Being angry at someone will last a short time but the punishment for harming them may last as long as you live. We need to continue to be able to remove from society those who cause harm to others esp when killing is involved. When a life is taken then the price must be of necessity harsh to ensure that a person thinks long and hard. Hence why education is mandatory that children and youths grow up knowing the downside of harming others.
