After beginning to read the story/article "Courtroom 302", I've begun to realize that its no wonder why most of the people that go to jail end up going back and are never able to turn their lives around. What do we think mostly leads people to commit crimes? Drugs are a way out, a sense of relief, a temporary solution that gets the user caught up in bigger and deeper messes. If not drugs, common things are rape, murder, and theft. Do happy people commit these acts? Sometimes yes, but many of the times, no. Its the people that feel low of themselves. They're angry with something and are driven to commit such felonies, leaving them in a deeper mess and possibly, hopefully, thinking to themselves "what have i done?" and realize they regret their mistake. But what's done is done, and they've landed themself in jail. As if life wasn't low enough at that point, the guards in jails and prisons don't exactly give a positive contributions. They yell and treat the prisoners like the shit they believe they are, if not worse. So after being thoroughly convinced that their lives are meaningless and feeling terrible about themselves, these guards confirm it and with that, what insentive would any person have to change their lives? I think they believe "hey my life sucks, F*** it." and go on living the rebellious way they've always been.

I think that the reason why people keep coming back to prisons isn't because of drugs but because there isn't any constructive help for those in jail. If there were , for example, social workers, i think that there could be less people coming back.
