chosen.content: Prisoners do occupy space, both physically and financially. However, prisons are also used as a form of punishment, to both protect the public from dangerous offenders as well as to rehabilitate those who may have made mistakes in their past. Prisons are also designed to allow prisoners to participate in educational and rehabilitative programs that can help to prevent further crime and better equip them when re-entering society, helping to make society as a whole safer and more secure.

rejected.content: No, prisoners are not necessarily a waste of space. Depending on the prison, prisoners may have access to educational programs and job training as part of their rehabilitative services. Additionally, prisoners typically do not pay taxes yet still use local public services, so prisons can help relieve strain on infrastructure and resources. It ultimately depends on how the prisoners are being utilized and rehabilitated while in prison.
