Fifth Entries: "Prisoners to Get Varsity-Level Course"


Regarding to the newspaper excerpt dated 3 March, 2013 taken from New Strait Times. Firstly, I define prisons as a very strict place where you do not have enough freedom. Now people have the chance to study inside a prison. This would be beneficial for the prisoners. Some of the prisoners might not have a proper education. This could be a chance for them. Maybe by having a proper education, they might they otherwise in their action. They might think twice before doing anything foolish anymore.


                 Besides that, they can also have a proper job. With a certain qualification, job opportunities might be open for them. That is only if the employer does not think of them as an ex prisoner. This mindset is the reason why many ex prisoner to be jobless. They just did not have the chance to work. This program is a very good program. I agree on it. They will be given a chance to have an education as well as increased competency after serving their sentences. I think they will gain a lot with this program. They can be viewed as someone who has a proper education and not looked down into.

                Therefore, it is good to have this kind of human support but how we can change the society perception towards this criminals.
