This work provides an insight into the philosophy of imprisonment
for reform. For centuries now, the reform of the criminal has been
one of the main objectives of imprisonment. This study questions
the veracity of the power of imprisonment to reform criminals.
There seem to be some inherent contradiction between the more we
take criminals to prison, the rate of recidivism and the apparent
threatening crime rate that we witness every day. This seems to
negate if not dilute the assertion that imprisonment does reform
criminals hence help in the fight against one of man's worst
enemies- crime.This work, therefore focuses on investigating
whether the prison as we know it no matter how decent, civilized,
big or small, new or old is capable of reforming criminals into
responsible citizens.This work will be useful to ethicists,
criminologists,lawyers, sociologists and anyone else interested in
the correctional systems.
