"prison is too expensive and doesn't work , present a case for and against this statement "

This is a great question with various for and against points so i shall just give you a few that come to mind.

FOR

-conditions can be below to basic living standards, which is immoral and a violation of human rights

-People wouldn't voluntarily  pay money to maintain the living conditions of convicts due to the atrocities of their crime.

-Statistics support the fact 'it doesn't work' as rehabilitation is in the minority

-it does not reduce crime rate in the slightest

-corruption

AGAINST

-what is the question suggesting should happen to convicts instead?

-wrongfully convicted

apologies im running out of time, so i can write appropriate against. hope this helps though
