If offenders learn how to care for themselves for when they are out of prison it may decrease the population in prisons. There could also be a decrease in prison population by sending offenders to rehab centers. Craig Jones and Don Weatherburn explains, “the best adult based rehabilitation programs, such as intensive treatment based supervision programs, can be expected to reduce offending by approximately 16 17 per cent at a cost of slightly more than $US7,000 per offender” (20). Sending offenders to rehab centers would also cost less than sending them to prisons. Craig Jones and Don Weatherburn explains, “Annual cost of imprisoning an adult offender is about $271 per day, or more than $100,000 over the course of a year” (22). Criminals also have a hard time finically supporting themselves because they left prison with no money and cannot find a job. Prison is sometimes more punishing criminals rather than rehabilitating them. Incarceration does not help prisoners
