范文1：

How to handle criminals is a problem that all countries and societies face.  Traditionally, the approach has been to punish them by placing them in prisons to pay for what they have done.  Some, however, advocate for trying to make them better with training and education and it seems they may have a good point.

First of all, consider all the money that we have to spend to lock people up in jail.  It doesn’t seem like a good use of public money if the people don’t actually get any better.  Because most criminals eventually are let out of prison, our focus should be on making them better citizens.
In fact, the reason why many people end up in jail in the first place is because they didn’t have a good education or happy family.  So if they can learn job skills they perhaps can find work and feel they can contribute in a positive way.  If they do this, they won’t need crime.  Surly everyone deserves a second chance.
Of course this does not mean that we should be too lenient on criminals.  Those who commit crime should still be punished, but during their punishment they should also be treated.  If we make an investment in them and show compassion, most will be able to make a new start.
To summarize, we must make more of an effort to go to the root of the problem.  We need to treat criminals as patients and give them the medicine they need: education and training.  By giving people the skills for a second chance we can make our society safer and healthier.

范文2：

It is undeniable that putting criminals into prison would contribute to a lower crime rate.Primarily, as offenders are isolated from the society when they are in prison, they cannot threaten the social security any more. Longer prison term would also be a serious warning forpotential criminals However, this way of punishment means that more prisons and man power as well as other resources are required, which can be a huge cost for the government. Besides, after being isolated from the society for a really long time, offenders would find it very hard to re-entrythe society and this may force them to commit crime again.

Hence, it is better to find alternative ways to deal with criminals. Vocational training and academic education aimed at prisoners are promising ones. These measures could help equip those behind bars with job skills and become independent economically after they are set free. They would find the opportunity to escape the cycle of violence and poverty utterly. For those criminals with special talents, working is a better way to reform them because they may have chance to realize their value to the society and regain self-respect and self-confidence. Theseapproaches would make a difference in criminal rehabilitation, and generate a better effect than simply throwing offenders behind the iron bars.

Overall, I do not deny the function of prison in punishing felons and deterring crime. However this cannot turn them into law abiding members without the aid of other measures, such as education, training and working.
