Prison system

Foucault claims the prison doesn’t reform the prisoners but worsens them when released back into society. He feels prison doesn’t diminish the crime rate but instead intensifies it, he feels they should get rid of the system because it doesn’t work. Prisoners that leave prison have more of a chance of going back and that’s for every one out of six prisoners. He feels the prison should educate its inmates, and teach them respect so when entered back into society they have a better chance of adapting and not going back to prison. During the July monarchy in 1835, out of 7,223 convicted criminals, 1,486 were recidivists. The prison continues to release dangerous delinquents throughout our populations. The prison system hasn’t changed much today since the 1800’s
