Deviance

Punishable deviance has usually, almost always been a social construct. Negative deviance will always have "punishment" types of outcomes. Punishable deviance has always been apart of human society, not only because it locks up potentially dangerous people, but it separates the "lower classes" from the "higher classes." In the U.S, regulation of this type of deviance is very bleak, besides officials arresting people and locking them up in "correctional facilities." As sociologists, the penitentiary system is basically saying "we don't care, we get the money to store your "trash" and that's fine with us". Because how many jails or correctional facilities actually try to HELP the inmates that reside within them? How many try to help them conquer whatever problems that they might have? Because sitting and rotting in cell is definitely the only thing that's going to help.
