Prison Reform in America: Something Must be Done

Prison reform is a critical issue that has gained widespread attention in recent years. The current state of the prison system in many countries is plagued by problems such as overcrowding, inadequate resources, and inadequate rehabilitation programs. Moreover, there are concerns that innocent people may be imprisoned due to a variety of factors, such as a flawed legal system, biased juries, or insufficient evidence. The issue of innocent people being incarcerated is particularly concerning, as it represents a grave injustice. It is a tragedy for the individuals affected and their families, and it undermines public confidence in the legal system as a whole. It is, therefore, crucial that steps are taken to identify and release individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. Several measures can be taken to address this issue. One key approach is to improve the quality and accuracy of legal proceedings, such as ensuring that defendants have access to competent legal representation and increasing the use of forensic evidence. Additionally, reforms can be made to the criminal justice system itself, such as improving the selection and training of judges and juries and providing better resources for investigations and trials. Overall, the goal of prison reform must be to ensure that innocent people are not wrongfully imprisoned and that the criminal justice system operates fairly and justly for all.

  1. 1) I like the title, maybe make it more specific to the exact type of reform you want but otherwise it’s good.
    2) The title is simple and covers a wide range on that topic, and it’s good that it establishes a topic that the reader can immediately be familiar with. Maybe include how prison should be reformed with a statement like “Reforming prisons through _____”
    3) I think the thesis is good and clearly describes the policy. I feel like if this is something meant to be actionable though you may need to simplify it to one of the two policies you mentioned or a combination of them

  2. 1. I think the title is pretty good, could be specified though.
    2. The title is broad, could be reworded to show how you plan to reform prisons.
    3. The thesis describes the policy well I like it.
