Напишите сочинение-эссе на тему: many people believe that the only way to reduce crime rates is to build high-security prisons and prison sentences.

the human rights issues created by incarceration are evident, i think: locking people up means taking away a number if not most of their liberties, most obviously their freedom of movement, freedom to work and political freedom  in some cases, as well as their  physical security  and privacy. other rights violations have to do with the kind of people who are locked up and the often substandard  conditions  in which many prisoners are kept, even in rich countries such as the u.s.:

children are often  incarcerated federal prisons in the u.s. hold 60% more prisoners than they were designed for prisoners often have to perform  forced and/or unpaid labor prison  rape  is common incarceration reduces former inmates’ earnings by 40 percent when compared to demographically similar counterparts who have not been imprisoned children of inmates  suffer  from the absence of a parent incarceration rates often betray  racism in criminal justice etc.

some people clearly deserve to be  put in jail, and often that is what is required and necessary in order to  protect the human rights of their (possible) victims. there’s also a deterrent effect:   one  study has  shown  that a 10 percent increase in incarceration is associated with two to four percent drop in crime.  in the u.s at least, there’s a correlation between soaring incarceration rates (see below) and spectacular drops in crime rates. however, other data point to little or no effect of mass incarceration on crime:

Somebody  has killed him. – кто-то убил его. someone  still loves you. – кто-то до сих пор любит тебя. she knows  something  about it. – она что-то знает об этом. would you like  something  to eat? – хотите что-нибудь поесть? why didn’t you ask  somebody  to show you the way to the hospital? – почему ты не попросил кого-нибудь показать тебе, как пройти к больнице? does  anybody  believe him? – ему кто-то верит? i didn’t tell  anyone  about our relations. – я никому не говорила о наших отношениях. if  anyone  agrees to sign this contract, i will resign. – если кто-то согласится подписать тот контракт, я уволюсь. is there  anything  to drink? – есть что-нибудь попить?
