　　写作思路：

　　第一段： 如果对待罪犯：监狱还是其他措施?

　　第二段： 监狱的作用

　　1. 保证社会安全

　　2. 警示他人

　　但是：耗费资源多，罪犯出狱后难以重新进入社会

　　第三段： 其他措施包括教育，职业培训，工作

　　1. 可以帮助出狱后经济独立，防止重复犯罪

　　2. 认识到自己对社会的价值，提高自尊自信

　　第四段： 我不否认监狱的作用，但是如果没有教育和工作的帮助，罪犯难以彻底得到改造。

　　As repeated crimes occur increasingly, how to reform criminals has given rise to a debate. Certainly prison is the place for them to be punished and reformed. But other measures are also needed to achieve an optimal result for them and the society as well.

　　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.
