Excerpt

Prison: it is a place for criminals. It is a place where society keeps the social deviants. Prisoners are individuals who have chosen to go against the rules that society has set up. Criminals make their own rules, they choose to kill other people, steal from other people, assault other people, rape other people. They victimize innocent people. We, as a society, have deemed criminals undeserving individuals. Yet when we send them to prison, they are treated like first class citizens. Why does our country give special luxuries to these criminals?
