Shock at Kenya prisoner beatings

My reaction:
According to A Kenyan prisons department spokesman has said he was shocked by a video showing warders assaulting prisoners and an investigation has been launched.

In my opinion, I don’t support using the violent to solve a problem. I think it’s so cruel. Although they are prisoner, have done something what is ruthless, inexorable or uncompassionate. But everything we do need an elasticity. Sometime we treat them with violent, but sometime we have to treat them with soft. Because anything in this world has two sides. And two sides need two ways or more. Nothing can live or still exist with one way. In addition, we are a human, they are human too. Of course, different people must use different way to treat them. Therefore this situation is too much.

On the other hand, I have heard the warders are very cruel and bad people. Because they sell a drug for jailer. Make the prisoners who want improve themselves or want to avoid, escape from the hell drug can’t achieve their planned. Sometime they embezzle the things that their kindred send for the prisoner.
The prisoners who have much of hardship in the jail. Besides, they have to face with these things. I think they have low possibility to be a good people in the future. However, I don’t agree with the government who agreed to increase their allowances and set up a taskforce to probe conditions in the country's prisons. Because it is too good for them. And make the jail not be the place that people scared. (234 words)
