Yes, but ensure appropriate parole time, and provide social/financial programs to support their re-integration into society.

This question is too vague. It would very much depend on what the crime actually was. And should be judged on an individual basis

ABOLISH PRISON! IT’S NOT NEEDED! it should be like living a normal life, just without a huge amount of people around you all the time

If they have served 3/4 of their sentence and prove they are safe to the community and can be rehabilitated in a safe way, then they must serve parole and do community service for the rest of their sentence

It depends on what they're in for, if they were simply evading taxes then sure. But if they were a registered sex offender, keep them in there.

 @9ZKJKHWfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

its dependant if they a proven that they aren't bad people and have been doing good in jail and haven't had anyproblems

 @9ZJXL26from Ohio  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only if they've served a reasonable amount time for their crime + if the crime was not super serious.

 @9ZJBV55from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

If they had done a more harmless crime, than they should be released from jail. If they had committed a crime that put another person in danger, than they should not.
