Prison should not be business, it should address the offenders mental health issue's and teach them how to live within boundaries. Why is it that the person who is mentally ill has to ask for help, they do not always know they are ill, why can't others step in and help them for more than 72 hours?
Sending a person to prison is suppose to be the way the offender pays the debt to society for breaking the laws society has set, however not only is society giving that offender a bed and 3 squares and sometimes a free education, it begins to support the offnders family through the welfare system. Why not allow the offender to work a real job a a liveable wage and the send 85% of the earned wages to offenders family, 12% to help with the cost of incarceration, and 3% into an account for when the offender is released. Maybe the would slow down the "revolving door", maybe upon release the offender would be rehabilitated and when a person is incarcerated evaluate and treat their mental health issues, I honestly belive that most are mentally ill and they are treatable fot the most part.
