    When talents break the law, whether to send them to the prison or make them work remains a contention. In my opinion, although imprisoning benefits convicts and society, we should use their abilities in the workforce.

    On the one hand, prisons will help educate criminals and ensure the safety of society. Prisons help rehabilitate prisoners because the guards will teach these prisoners life skills and the standard of upright conduct. With knowledge, criminals would adapt more to society when they are released. What is more, imprisonment is also a deterrent for people who intend to commit a crime. For example, were there no imprisonment, some officials would have received bribes, threatening the economic safety of the society.

    On the other hand, that criminals enter the workforce will promote breakthroughs in scientific area and curb the lawless behavior. For example, a convict caught because of hacking into a police surveillance system could have expertise in internet security. Therefore, if the government arranges for him to study this area, he will contribute to the research. In addition, he would get a job opportunity, and his action would be under supervision. Therefore, with income and surveillance, it is more unlikely for him to commit a crime again.

    In my perspective, I support the idea that lawbreakers with skills should participate in the work. In this way, their intellectual prowess will not be wasted. As for imprisonment, it can indeed give them lessons. However, jail terms may harden convicts against society as a result of the brutalizing treatment they receive.
