punishable deviance

in my sociological mind punishable deviance is a socieatel thing. because what if our socity was one that focused on selling drugs to make profit? in that society it wold be normal to sell crack or heroine, and it would be looked on a lot differently. i think in any society therer will always be punishable deviance it just depends on the society. in everything someone ends up doing something wrong, but is it really wrong? society tells us its wrong but who really knows whats wrong and right? im goin a little off topic haha. back to wat i was saying, in every type of society there has to be and will be punishable deviance, theres no way to get around that. i think after seeing morgan spurlocks movie that our form of dealing with punishable deviance is not right at all. we need to help peopl reform there way of life to fit in with the rest of the world. keepin a bunch of men in a room, never letting them see fresh air and rarely seeing family and loved ones is a horrible way to deal with this deviance. criminals keep on getting sent back to the pen becaus we dont teach them how to live with the society, instead of against it. our current "reform" system tells us as sociologists that we really dont care about criminals. theyre the lowest of low and so we shouldny have to take the extra step to help them succesfully function in society. i think that bc of this we almost think of criminals as less than human, theyre deviant abnormal people who dont belong with us, but instead belong behind locked doors. the people that are usually arrested are the poor and minorities. they dont have the opportunity so they resort to illegal methods to get by in life. theyre trying to live the only way they can, and were denying that from them. also a lot of ppl sent to jail have been there before, so even tho we send them to prison to "reform" them, they are right back in a short time. once in jail, inmates are left alone with other inmates. by keeping them all together and in small spaces, we think that tehy will have time to rethink what they have done and therefore change there ways. but this doesnt happen. the best success in keepin peeople out of prison would be doin things like the second jail morgan visited. in my opninion that is a much better, healthier, and more effective way of helping these deviant individuals to get back on society's "right track".
