Why it easy for public to believe misleading online information

What is the purpose of the prison system at large? Theoretically speaking, we are taught that prisons exist for reform and rehabilitation, with those sentenced to a prison term taking the time there to understand the gravity of their actions and working to change. In reality, however, there might be a deeper part of the human psyche that views the prison as a place where the unwanted of society go to rot away, much like Britain sent off its most hardened criminals to Australia, never to be seen again.

Article 133 of the Constitution grants the President the power of mercy, which allows him to pardon, postpone, or substitute a sentence. It also allows for the creation of an Advisory Committee on the Power of Mercy, comprising the Attorney General, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for correctional services, and at least five other members. This committee currently includes an expert on community integration, an expert on social services and probation, a professor in Peace and Conflict Studies, and religious leaders of various faiths. Last week, the committee recommended the release of 56 Kenyans, 31 who received conditional releases, and 25 were to be discharged upon remission of their nearly completed sentences. All petty offenders were also released.
