Failure my friend.

  We have all failed at something in our life. We have always tried something new, and failed at it many times, haven’t we?

Prisons also make sure the law is respected by everyone and everyone knows what happens if they break the law. However, as much as prisons are good to punish criminals there are also  factors that go against them. Data from 2019-2020 shows that the a
