In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent t0 special centers where you learn practical skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. Around 5% of the prison population are women. Many prisons were built over 100 years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons: the open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners axe given very little freedom. They spend three to ten horns outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do whether they are doing maintenance, or cooking or cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors or study and some are allowed out of the grounds to study or do community work.
