  2. Consider the following two questions: As a society, should we discontinue programs that promote rehabilitation for prisoners and instead use those funds for other efforts, such as “fighting crime”? Or, should we continue these programs and decrease funding for the “war on drugs”? Which sentence do you agree with? Explain your reasoning.
