A Prison That Works

Verse 1

This is a prison, built by the state,

To protect society, not spread hate.

People are sent here for harm they caused,

But human dignity is not paused.

Chorus

A prison must correct, a prison must train,

Reduce future crime, not increase pain.

Safety, discipline, and change inside—

This is how a prison must be applied.

Verse 2

In this prison, all are equal by law,

No faith is forced, no belief ignored.

Every person must accept their wrong,

Take responsibility, become strong.

Chorus

A prison must correct, a prison must train,

Reduce future crime, not increase pain.

Order and fairness guide the way,

So safer citizens return one day.

Verse 3

Daily work, education, skill,

Mental health care to strengthen will.

Restitution made where damage was done,

Privileges earned, not freely won.

Bridge

False reform brings no release,

Only real change earns degrees.

Rules are clear, outcomes fair,

Progress measured, openly shared.

Final Chorus

A prison must protect society first,

Then reform the person at their worst.

Firm justice, humane control,

Lower crime is the final goal.

Outro

This is not kindness without law,

This is justice the public can trust and draw.
