How should be criminals re-integrated into society as normal people? Appearantly prisons have difficulties with that. On the contrary, the environment may make the imprisoned only more deviant. What do you think should be done?
Execution or putting them on a remote island are not options, of course.

There are several options. The best one going right now is the program called Re-Entry it involves the the family of the inmate, the family and the victim of the crime and it involves the local law enforcement. It is a closely monitored program that involves re-introducing them into society at a slow pace, rather then just releasing them back into society with out the shock of having to fend for them selves, I could go on for hours so just type in Re-Entry on the net and you will get a wealth of info.

Faith based programs seem to work best but they tend to be rejected by the anti religion left. The big advantage is that faith based organizations normally have a ready made support system that will help to integrate the inmates back into society. Also the faith based approach provides a value system that may just be better than the one the inmate went to prison with. But again the left will not allow the government to approve any thing that has a religious and certainly a Christian basis.

Good question.. Have known a couple dudes that have done time, and their rough people. If a person is given a sentence of let's say 8 years. I believe the last year or so should be some kind of re-uniting them with the outside world. I think that's what half way houses are about, but not everyone goes thru this program. It should be required. Your right.. Take a person who does 10 or 15 years hard time, put them right out on the street, they are dangerous people. And it's not fair to them.

Some criminals should not be reintegrated. Put an RFID tag in them and send them to clean up New Orleans or fight in Iraq. I would definately use the death row guys in war. They get to go in first and if they live through the war they get their freedom.

I think that the money needs to be put in juvenile programs and education. If we can stop people from becoming criminals the problem will fix itself.

I've seen Shock Incarceration, but the recidivism is about the same. I think the bottom line is criminals are criminals, and they can only change themselves.

maybe the problem of re-integration is not the prisons fault,but instead the criminals fault.

I think the police is the one that needs correctional facilities.
