Why Prisons Dont Work 1.Rideau explains criminal behavior in his story presenting you with a bunch of failures and rejects. He talks about how they have been put in jail for common negative impulses that they acted on. He describes them as being doomed because they are uneducated and don’t have the proper skills for life. The majority of criminals to be sent to prison were mostly misfits and African Americans. 2. The thesis of the essay- “The vast majority of use are consigned to suffer and die here so politicians can sell the illusion that permanently exiling people to prison will make society safe.” This statement is the thesis and I feel it is directly implied. The reason this remark is direct is because it sums up what the paragraph was trying to conclude on what the patterns are of inmates. When exiling the criminals they’re not learning how to deal with their impulses and improving their education. 3.Politician’s role in the prison system is to sell the idea to the public that prison makes society safer. This was stated in the first paragraph. 4.
