Criminal and Prison System: Social cleansing, vengeance, or justice?

I feel like the prison and criminal system just puts away people who break the law instead of getting to the root of the problem. Once prisoners are released, many of them commit the same or worse crime. Imprisonment is the easy way out, just a band-aid to the real problems of society. I don't know what would be easier or cheaper, improving communities and promoting better mental health, or making more prisons to accommodate the people who are unable to make good decisions. Of course everyone should take responsibilities for their actions, but I feel that imprisonment rarely makes any kind of positive change for prisoners. There has to be better ways of helping out criminal-prone communities instead of locking them away because the problem will still remain. 1
