Content: Prisoners self is taken away and in many cases they are dehumanized with in the walls of the prison. With in these walls they suffer dehumanizing treatment from guards. Prisoners are not being groomed to re-enter society a functioning member of society but as a criminal in society. Prisoners are released with no help in becoming a functioning member of society. They lose many rights when they are released and often are unable to get employment because they must disclose they have been in prison. Without employment they are already breaking their parole/probation, putting them at risk of being sent back into prison. The criminal justice system needs to be restructured in order to be more restorative, in order to work properly. Many are in prison and the U.S. is currently the number one in the world with the number of prisoners. Millions are in prison with no hope of re-entering society as a functioning member of society. The criminal justice system expects them to have their shit together when they take every government assistants away because they have been convicted of a crime.
