It does seem reasonable to keep wrongdoe

2、rs in a place where they find fewer opportunities to hurt innocent people, and where they might discover that crime doesnt pay. The system has long been considered fair and sound by those who want to see the guilty punished and society protected. Yet the value of this form of justice is now being qu

3、estioned by the very men who have to apply it: the judges. The reason, they say, is that prison doesnt do anyone any good.Does it really help society, or the victim, or the victims family, to put in jail a man who, while drunk at the wheel of his car, has injured or killed another person? It would b

4、e more helpful to make the man pay for his victims medical bills and compensate him for the bad experience, the loss of working time, and any other problems arising from the accident. If the victim is dead, in most cases his family could use some financial assistance.The idea of compensation is far

5、from new: some ancient nations had laws defining very precisely what should be paid for every offense and injury. In Babylon, around 2700 B. C., a thief had to give back five times the value of the goods he had stolen; in Rome, centuries later, thieves only paid double. “Good system!“ say modern jud

6、ges, who know what bad effects a prison term can have on a nonviolent first offender. A young thief who spends time in jail receives there a thorough education in crime from his fellow prisoners. Willingly or not, he has to associate with tough criminals who will drag him into more serious offenses,

7、 more prison terms a life of repeated wrongdoing that will leave a trail of victims and cost the community a great deal of money; for it is very expensive to put a man on trial and keep him in jail.Such considerations have caused a number of English and American judges to try other kinds of punishme

8、nt for “light“ criminals, all unpleasant enough to discourage the offenders from repeating their offenses, but safe for them because they are not exposed to dangerous company. They pay for their crime by “helping their victims, financially or otherwise, or by doing unpaid labor for their community;

9、they may have to work for the poor or the mentally ill, to clean the streets of their town, collect little or plant trees, or to do some work for which they are qualified. Or perhaps they take a job and repay their victim out of their salary. This sort of punishment, called an alternative sentence,

10、is applied only to nonviolent criminals who are not likely to be dangerous to the public, such as forgers, shoplifters, and drivers who have caused traffic accidents. Alternative sentences are considered particularly good for young offenders. The sentenced criminal has the right to refuse the new ty

11、pe of punishment if he prefers a prison term.Since alternative sentences are not defined by law, it is up to the judges to find the punishment that fits the crime. They have shown remarkable imagination in applying what they call “creative justice. “A dentist convicted of killing a motorcyclist whil

12、e driving drunk has been condemned to fix the teeth of the poor and the elderly at his own expense one day a week for a full year. Another drunk driver (age nineteen) was ordered to work in the emergency room of a hospital once a week for three years, so that he could see for himself the results of

13、careless driving.A thief who had stolen some equipment from a farmer had to raise a pig and a calf for his victim. A former city treasurer, guilty of dishonest actions, was put to raising money for the Red Cross.A group of teenagers were sentenced to fix ten times the number of windows that they had

14、 smashed “just for fun“ one wild evening. Grafiti artists have been made to scrub walls, benches, and other “decorated“ places. Other young offenders caught snatching old ladies purses have been condemned to paint or repair old peoples houses or to work in mental hospitals.A doctor who had attacked

15、his neighbor during a snowball fight had to give a lecture on the relation between smoking and cancer. A college professor arrested in a protest demonstration was ordered to write a long essay on civil disobedience, and the president of a film company, who had forged $ 42,000 worth of checks, had to

16、 make a film about the danger of drugs, to be shown in schools. The project cost him $ 45,000, besides the fine that he had been sentenced to pay.The judges creativity is not reserved for individuals only; lawbreaking companies also can receive alternative sentences. They are usually directed to mak

17、e large contributions to charities or projects that will benefit their community.Instead of trying new types of sentences, some judges have explored new ways of using the old ones. They have given prison term to be served on weekends only, for instance a sentence that allows married offenders to ret

18、ain their jobs and to keep their families together. Although the public tends to find the weekend sentences much too light, the offenders do not always agree. Says one, “its worse than serving one term full time, because its like going to jail twenty times. “ But prison personnel object that it is t

19、oo easy for weekenders to bring drugs and other forbidden goods to the other inmates: they have to be searched carefully and create extra problems and work for the guards.Alternative sentencing is now practiced in seventeen states and is spreading fast. Judges meet regularly to compare sentences and

20、 share their experiences. The federal government has announced that it would provide guidelines to prevent the courts from giving widely different sentences for similar offenses. The judges have not welcomed the idea; they feel that it will narrow their choice of sentences and clip the wings of thei

21、r imagination.The supporters of the new justice point out that it presents many advantages. It reduces prison crowding, which has been responsible for much violence and crime among inmates. It saves a great deal of money, and decreases the chances of bad influence and repeated offenses. It also prov

22、ides some help to the victims, who have always been neglected in the past. Many judges think that alternative sentences may also be beneficial to the offenders themselves, by forcing them to see the effects of their crimes and the people who have suffered from them. The greatest resistance to the ne

23、w kind of justice comes from the families of victims who have died. Bent on revenge, many angrily refuse any sort of compensation. They want the criminal locked up in the good old-fashioned way. They believe, reasonably, that the only just punishment is the one that fits the crime. And they fail to

24、understand the purpose of alternative sentencing. What the judges are trying to find is the kind of punishment that will not only be just, but useful to society, by helping the victims and their families, the community, and those offenders who can be reformed. “This,“ says a “creative“ judge, “is tr
