To reform criminals How to reform criminals is always an essential issue for both the government and the society. The most common solution is sending criminals to prison, then after years staying there, when they are released, they are expected to be "new" citizens who are harmless to our society. By contrast, some people believe that directly sending criminals to prison cannot totally change their thought and mind - many criminals repeat their offense. So, these people argue that criminals should be given education and training instead.
