The prison system is designed to receive sentences of more than one year, including life sentences and death sentences, furthermore, this is where the concept of parole for released offenders is introduced . When many of these offenders entered the prison system, they committed several crimes and, furthermore, progressed to crimes of violence. The most complex struggle facing the prison system is the recidivism of these offenders, so many of these violent offenders will reoffend and end up back in prison. However, the prison system has addressed this issue head-on by providing numerous programs within the prison system such as educational, drug, anger management, labor trading, family services, and many others. However, there is no concrete evidence that these programs are successful or worth the enormous amount of money spent. However, there are advocates who will tell you that if the system only reaches 10% of offenders and 90% of offenders return to prison, this is a win-win solution.
