Question 8 - Week 13
Since we are working with crime, you will get two kinds of questions during the time of the project. The first question is a tricky one that I want you to try and solve. The second one is the regular blog-question, only the subject is related to crime somehow...
THE TRICKY QUESTION: A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
BLOG QUESTION: Should the main purpose of prison be punishment or rehabilitation? Why?
The Tricky Question: If you think about it, being stuck in a room with lions haven't eaten in 3 years - they would be pretty dead if they haven't eaten in 3 years. The room that is full with assassins with loaded guns - because they are a kind of murderer too that they have like some sympathy for him. The room full od raging fires sounds really bad but it depends on if he could lie on the floor all day long to not being shooted.
So, one of the rooms is the safest obviously. And I think it's the room with lions who hasen't eaten in 3 years. Lions that hasen't eaten in 3 years has to been dead so he'll be safest in that room.
Blog Question: That's a tricky question. It depends on your personal view on prison. I think personal that it's main purpose should be rehabilitation. Why they are in prison are to learn a lesson from the crime they have commited and learn from it in prison so they could get back in to the world and start a new life. If we use punishment, they eventully will learn but have a new sight on things. And they could get even more voilent if we use violence. You don't get anywhere where violence. Yes, the prisoners should learn their lesson but it's the wrong way to go. So I think the main purpose of prison should be rehabilitation because I think it gives more. The people who has a disease would learn how to deal with it, learn to control it and maybe they can make better in the world before they killed, murdered someone and such.
