For long in the United States, jails which are public facilities have been misused. This is through holding minor crime victims and innocent people who should be fined and set free. Nevertheless in the United States, there are a lot of people arrested on a daily basis for petty crimes for instance violating traffic rules and they end up in jail. Many others are framed for a crime they know nothing about and they also languish in jail. Jails should be for people charged with serious crimes so that they can be granted a chance to undergo recollection and change for the better. Nevertheless, when minor crime offenders for instance petty theft, prostitution, simple assault, indecent exposure, trespass or disorderly conduct are the reasons jailing people; jails seems to lose the overall purpose in the society. It becomes hard for the correctional officers to deal with inmates efficiently since the levels of crime ability differ. Additionally, jails in the United States are not large facilities which mean that any misuse could attract other major challenges. to help jails serve the public, they should only be used for the right purposes and not any form of misuse irrespective of who is benefiting with their misuse.
