People who have been arrested and subsequently found guilty of a crime are sometimes given
sentences, which involve a stay in prison.
This punishment deprives the individual of their
as they are not permitted to leave prison until their sentence has been served. Prison is generally considered to be
punishment as it completely restricts the freedom of the individual who is being imprisoned. Choices for things such as daily activities, food preferences, seeing family members, etc. are extremely
as this is part of the punishment.
Many people, including
people, are concerned with the treatment that prisoners receive in jail. It is the responsibility of the
to care for the prisoners, and therefore it is a moral question of how well they are required to treat prisoners. After all, prison is considered to be a punishment so there needs to be some element of the experience which is unpleasant in order for it to be considered so. This should be the deprivation of freedom.
Many people are concerned that those within prison are the victims of
by the system. Examples of this could be
by the guards, such as unnecessary physical tasks or even beatings. Other concerns include ensuring that prisoners get sufficient exercise and food, to ensure that prison does not become a form of
torture.
Many religious people are concerned with this and work to try to ensure fair treatment of prisoners, as they believe that this will aid their
and therefore mean that when they are released, they are more likely to be productive, constructive members of society and not reoffend. Some religious people volunteer, and others work as full-time prison
to work towards this end. This is because the principles of fairness, love of all and forgiveness are very important in many religious traditions, including Christianity.
