Question

Read the excerpt from Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.

We have abolished parole in many states. We have invented slogans like "Three strikes and you’re out” to communicate our toughness. We’ve given up on rehabilitation, education, and services for the imprisoned because providing assistance to the incarcerated is apparently too kind and compassionate.

Which sentence best states the excerpt’s main idea about abolishing parole?

Abolishing parole has shown how tough states are on crime.
Abolishing parole has prevented incarcerated people from rehabilitating.
Abolishing parole has helped decrease the overall crime rate.
Abolishing parole has allowed for incarcerated people to access other services.

Answer 1

Abolishing parole has prevented incarcerated people from rehabilitating.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bryan Stevenson is lawyer in "Just Mercy" who helps people in prison who didn't do anything wrong

Climax = Bryan Stevenson proves that Walter McMillian, a man on death row, is innocent and gets him released from prison, showing that sometimes the legal system needs help to be fair and just.

Ending = Walter McMillian is finally free and reunited with his family, and Bryan Stevenson keeps working to help more people who are unfairly treated in prison.
