- W2186304870 abstract "T code of Hammurabi has been credited with being one of the earliest examples of a penal system. It contains no religious laws but establishes a now famous doctrine. In Hammurabi’s code, “the basis of criminal law is that of equal retaliation, comparable to the Semitic law of ‘eye for an eye’”(Hammurabi, n.d.). The fear of losing a hand for theft and other poetically fi tting punishments were used to deter crimes. But this system was far from perfect; as an old proverb says, “the old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind”. Instead of continuously injuring and blinding its people, most civilizations decided to adopt a prison system in hopes of protecting law abiding citizens from those who would harm them or take their possessions. This was done with a secondary goal of giving criminals a chance to learn from their punishment and the opportunity to return to their society and help it thrive. In America, our prisons are among the largest (in building size and prisoner population), and most expensive, and they harbor some of the most dangerous inmates in the world. Despite their original intent, can it be that America’s prisons are hurting the country they are designed to protect? The intent of this paper is to delve into a problem that plagues Americans of every class, color, race and gender. The paper will examine how prison affects minds and bodies and show how it leaves inmates broken and ultimately without hope for the future." @default.
