Description
For this discussion board, you will need to read Tischler (2001), which is posted in this module. This reading provides two answers to the question: "Are prisons the best way to deal with criminals?" According to your textbook, approximately 1.6 million inmates are currently housed in U.S. correctional institutions (Siegel & Worrall, 2013). Many of these inmates will eventually reenter society. I want you to consider whether you believe prisons are the best way to deal with offenders. In this discussion board, address the following questions:
prisons the solution to offending? That is, are they the best way to deal with offenders?
you answer yes - explain why you believe prisons are the best response to offenders and why other responses are not appropriate. You must incorporate and cite at least three points and/or findings from the Tischler reading and/or your textbook to support your response.
you answer no - explain why you feel this way and discuss what you think the better solution is. You must incorporate and cite at least three points and/or findings from the Tischler reading and/or your textbook to support your response.
