雅思真题

Most criminals are set free once they finish their jail terms. Is the re-introduction of criminals in society justified? Place your views in no less than 250 words

作文原稿

Setting dangerous criminals free is not unlike putting the society to throw dice with security. This game is exactly the case with the re-introduction of criminals in society in the sense that good luck and bad luck are mixed with results remaining to be seen. Chances are habitual evil-doers, once set free from jail, continue to present a constant threat to the security of communities. Unless some critical rules of the game are changed in reverse, the re-introduction system, being far from fair, cannot be justified.

For want of another word, "revolving" is an adjective I would like to use to describe a prison door. The door keeps turning around to let criminals in and out. More often than not, criminals are set free, caught again, free again, back to jail again, soon out again, only to be caught again, and then free again. Most criminals are said to have become immune to correction measures as punishments for their crimes. Now in jail. Now roaming in society. The vicious cycle makes neither economic sense nor social sense. The society turns out to be a sure loser.

True enough, keeping criminals longer in prisons means higher costs. This is an economic loss for the society. From an opposite point of view, letting them out means the society is likely to pay another price: security. In comparison, if money is not the issue, dangerous criminals had better be kept where they belong for a long, long period of time.

It's time to review the re-introduction system while the prison door is "revolving." As crimes and punishments are out of steps, there leaves much for doubt about the game being played in favor of criminals, and not of the society. Admitting that all men are created equal, I would like to think only a few criminals are worthy of a second chance to face an honest living in society. Nothing can justify more crimes.
