In my opinion I think that it does work to an extent, because those people who are serving time for drug use then yes it does. Giving them punishment first and then gradually bringing them to a better place in the jail works for some men. But I say that they still serve the same as there were going to be if they are good then can then start their path to a full recovery. Because this summer I actually had the oppurtunity to speak with 5 people at the Utah State Prison.
The 5 people who talked to use were doing punishment along with rehabilitation which was working surprisingly very well for those men. A lot of them got teary when they were talking about what they did and why they were there. Because they knew it was stupid, but yet they didn’t fight the time they were serving. All of them said they deserved every bit of the punishment they had. So therefore both of them together can work very well, it all just depends on if the prisoner is willing to cooperate with the program. Because they could fix themselves if they really wanted too. It still won’t take away their past but it might brighten up their future .
