    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion. I also want to thank Sen. Adan for donating the time to me, because I have been here this afternoon waiting to contribute. It would have been very disappointing if I left without contributing. Our prisons, as we know them, are supposed to be places where offenders go for correction so that when they come back to the community, they are useful and law abiding citizens. It is unfortunate that that is not the case. Our prisons are no longer correctional institutions but institutions where punishment is meted, sometimes causing permanent damage to the individuals such that even after release, they will not fit into society. We all know that the trend now is for the prisoners who have been released to seek the earliest opportunity – even for those who have been given amnesty – to go back there. It is not because the conditions in prison are better than outside, but because they have not been prepared to integrate back to society.
