The prison sentence helps to prevent th
criminal from reoffending by punishing
them with a prison sentence.
If the offender has 'hurt' someone else (e.g
the victim, the family of the victim), they
should pay for their behaviour by spending
time in prison and losing their freedom.
If an offender is a threat to society, a prison
sentence helps to prevent the offender
from committing another crime and
keeps society safe.
The prison sentence helps to reintegrate
the offender into society once they are
released.
For example, this includes counselling
sessions or learning new skills that make
them less likely to reoffend.
