Describe the role of treatment in prisons today, the effectiveness of treatment, and the difficulties in providing treatment
What will be an ideal response?
The role of treatment and services in prisons today is to provide opportunities for inmates to profit from confinement and to provide adequate, basic care of inmates. The goal of treatment is to correct an offender's character, habits, attitudes, or behaviors so they are less likely to engage in criminal behavior. Recent data have indicated that treatment can reduce recidivism if the offender completes the program and voluntarily enters the program. Some prisons had difficulty conducting the desired treatment they would like to provide because of overcrowded prisons and cutbacks on programming.
