In his article, Charles Montado explains that harsh punishments, specifically in prisons, do not work for two reasons. The first reason being that the prison systems do not have any type of rehabilitation set up for their inmates. When they get out into the normal world they are confused, and they have a hard time adjusting, which leads them to getting into more crime and more problems and they end up back in prison or jail, thus not changing at all.
