What is prison for?
Are there any alternatives to prison that can achieve the same goals?
Yes, there are alternatives to prison such as restorative justice programs and community service that aim to achieve the same goals of accountability, rehabilitation and protecting the public from harm. These alternative approaches are gaining more attention in recent years as a way to provide meaningful consequences for crimes while also addressing deeper issues such as trauma, addiction, and poverty that might have contributed to criminal behavior.
