Jail Sentences

The respect for property and human life is something that has tried to instill in society. Unfortunately there is a part of society that did not want to learn and less to put into practice the word respect. Currently the offenses have increased dramatically, but the worst is now very little the respect for human life. There are many ways of crime, but each has different ways of punishment. The question is punishing the offender in the best way? These sentences are intended to prevent crime?

There are many types of crime. Some people do not often commit criminal acts but because of its irresponsibility kill other people. An example of this is the drunk drivers. To me a drunk and driving is a murderer. But I think people deserve the opportunity to live and change his addiction to alcohol, soothe prison if a good punishment for them. However, if they repeat their actions should not have mercy. That is worthy of only opportunity to be seized. Should go to jail, but not torture.

Today the prison is a way to punish offenders and criminals. But is this enough for people who would not or could adapt peacefully to society? Personally I think it is not good punishment only sentenced to many years in prison, because we know that the only punishment there is no get out. Otherwise criminals have food, bed, forms of recreation, and they not have to work for it. We could say that besides making suffer society lives at the expense of them. The prisons are maintained with taxes that all citizens pay.

Besides all this, the penalties are not even respected in their entirety. Many manage to leave half of his sentence, other sentences succeed puny compared to crimes they did. This may be happening, because, unfortunately, criminals increase and prison capacity decreases. I think the implementation of new forms of punishment would be a good way to stop crime. Many talk of the death penalty, but I personally believe that torture would be a far worse punishment.

Torture may be a better form of punishment. Although it violates human rights, we cannot consider both people did not consider others. Criminals do not think about the lives of others, or the family of the other ¿why society has to consider them? If the sentences were strong enough, the fear make that crimes decrease. I believe the theory "eye for eye, tooth for tooth" should apply to these people. It is clear that the current system to combat crime is not working.
