More punishment than just jail.

Do you think that if people should commit a crime, that in some way or another they should do something other than or more than just going to prison or jail? I personally do. Crime rate is on the rise. Everyday more crime is committed. Criminals should have to pay some kind of fine, weather it being money, community service, or helping raise money for something. Depending on their crime, determines what the other consequence should be. If someone was to harm a person or murder a person they get thrown in jail. They get three meals a day and an hour out in the sun. They get cable television and are surrounded by their buddies half the time. Yeah, they aren’t out and about with their real friends but they are surrounded by people they know and by people that they talk to and joke with. So therefore these people doing horrible things are in a way, rewarded. Jail seems like such a safe place. They are always from people trying to kill them or harm them for what they did. I think these criminals should have to raise money or make some kind of payments to the families that they have taken someone from. Or do something that will benefit the earth or something along those lines. I don’t think it’s fair for them to just be sitting in jail/prison till death doing absolutely nothing. Just waiting what life they have left in that environment. They should be forced to get up and do something positive. They obviously did something negative in order to end up where they are. So I think depending on their crime, they should be forced to do something positive with their lives from here on out. Maybe they should serve something even harsher than being executed. They should suffer and go through all the hurt that they put the other person through. The things that people do anymore, is not right. We have to try to make something positive out of all this negativity. Laws should be passed saying that criminals are required to make themselves better people and to help out the families that they hurt. Depending on the crime though, determines what their penalty would be. This may, or may not change people’s actions in the meantime. Only time its self will tell.
