John’s response is pregnant with great information. The fact that Jesus had radical views concerning the prison system is intriguing. However, I do not think Jesus was against the current unified prison system that does not consider the needs of an individual. If anything, Jesus asked people to make it better. Jesus commanded his followers to continually visit those in prison and not to forget about them (Lee, 2009). Going by this, He certainly did not find any fault with the structure of the system. However, I still agree that there needs to be a program that addresses the needs of individuals. Case, in instance, the rehabilitation system recognizes that juveniles cannot be mixed with adults and has therefore separated the two structures to suit these groups (Stewart, Usher, Vandermey, 2015) . Similarly, there should be arrangements for the rehabilitation system to consider that all individuals are different. However, it should not be as in-depth as John has suggested because a lot of funds would be spent in a risk to need responsivity (RNR) system.
Carrie’s response has been backed up by vital statistics. I agree with the fact that TFAC allows victims of the justice system to reflect and become more aware of themselves. However, the current system, which isolates prisoners, also achieves the same objective. It allows individuals to reflect on themselves while in isolation ( Lowenkamp, Hubbard, Makarios, and Latessa, 2009) . Secondly, the statistics about the high number of offenders being rearrested three years after being released does not apply in this context. While I agree that most of the offenders get back to crime after they are released, I do not think it is because of their lack of mannerism or that they did not learn a lesson from being in prison. The current system makes it difficult for offenders to get back into their normal lives after being released (Binswanger et al., 2012) . For example, it is difficult for an individual to get a white-collar job after serving time in prison just because of how the system is set up. This way, they do not have a lot of options and opt to go back to crime to get their daily bread. What needs to be changed, in this case, is the system post-conviction.
