When is Too Far

In the episode white bear of black mirror is a good example of how far punishment can go if you remove the establish rules that we have now. The concept behind correctional facilities was to help the person rethink the behavior that they did to get them in that situation but the idea has been twisted and you choose the people on the outside benefit. If jails and prisons were solely meant to help these individuals come out as better people that wouldn't be so much corruption. My cousin's experience resulted in mixed results. He was in and out a couple of times and it mess with him mentally. In a way it did help him come back more sober minded because of the experience but you being put in that situation actually words he wouldn't have ended up going back. The main character that was being taken through the process of being confused and afraid throughout the whole process symbolizes this mentality of that in and out of the same situation. Even though her memory was wiped before each time they always are so good her instincts will kick in where she would do harm to others. There was never a defined in point for the treatment she was going through. So in this set of circumstances what would this aside he deemed to be enough for them to stop putting her through the same Stead of events each day.

How do you decide which people would be treated like this and which crimes are severe enough for the criminals to have to relive the act actually committed towards someone else? Also since the crime she committed was towards a child why would you have children participating in the reenactment? I understand having children know about the dangers of crimes like the one that the main character committed but it the justice park could potentially promote a torture mentality towards all criminals in the long run. I feel like the extent they took her punishment to was unnecessary. Positive treatment should be used instead. There needs to be a redesign of the organization of the system. Criminals should be separated based on the severity of their crime. People with minor drug possession charges shouldn’t be held in the same facility as serial killers. It would give people with minor charges a greater chance of coming out a better citizen.
