Why are there so many people in prison, can't they just not commit crimes?

While it is ideal that people commit no crime, in practice this is unrealistic. Many people face challenges in their lives that make it difficult for them to find legal means of support and some may find themselves unable to resist the allure of criminal activities. There are numerous reasons why people turn to crime, from the allure of quick money to desperation arising from poverty and lack of opportunities. It is therefore crucial to have effective methods for rehabilitation and crime prevention. Additionally, imprisonment is also used as a form of punishment for those convicted of a crime and it serves to maintain public safety.
