Reality pats the fashionable life in the women's prison (5) Prison is the product of the development of human society to a certain historical stage, which is produced with the emergence of class and country. In the primitive society before mankind entered the class society, there was no class, no prison. During the primitive society clan commune, human society was based on blood relationship. People lived by hunting, the means of production were public, and the clan leader was in charge of the distribution of property. However, due to the low level of productivity, people's survival is difficult to guarantee. Because there is no state organization in any form, conflicts between people are solved through habitual bloody revenge. In the later period of primitive society, due to the development of productive forces, people began to form groups and used grinded or beaten stone tools to hunt, resulting in surplus products. Clan leaders occupy surplus products for free, so private ownership appears in society, and there are two opposing classes in human society, namely the slave owner class and the slave class. Human society will also transition from primitive society to slave society and begin to enter the first class society. With the emergence of class, the form of state organization appeared. In order to maintain its own rule and suppress the resistance of the ruled class, the ruling class in charge of state power has formulated a series of rules and regulations, which are the embodiment of the will of the state. This is the law. Criminals are regarded as crimes, and criminals should be punished, which leads to punishment and prison.
