A towns’ image is vital for establishing a formal relationship with the outside world. A decent towns’ image will make it easy, for people living there to establish a long lasting relationship. The healthy relationship is beneficial for attracting investors who help in boosting the economy of the town. Investors get scared when the town is famous for having a poor relationship with outsiders. Therefore, a wholesome image helps the locals interact with outsiders and share ideas.
The major cause of increased investment in any town is security. The image of a town is crucial for creating and maintaining a favorable image. Therefore, the government should intervene in this situation so that it can make the town secure. An acceptable image is also notable for making the town a pleasant place for educational achievement.
The entire image attracts more students than a town that is famous for insecurity. A town that is famous for being a prison centre is seen by people as a highly insecure place that is not safe for investment. The town is seen as a centre of criminal acts because of the prison.
The mayors’ panel should comprise all the stakeholders of the town. The stakeholders in this case, are Alice Rugby, David Halloway, Arnold Kitchen, John Edwards and Angela Bakersfield. All these people have a key role in the security and proceedings of the daily activities in the town. The above people have different perspectives on the issue at hand.
The people of the neighboring community have an issue with the security caused by the existence of the prison in the town. The people have a negative view because of the existence of the prison, and will propose that the town be rebranded into a town focused more on education than now when they focus on prisons.
The media reporters will want people to learn to live with the fact that the prison is in the town, and claim that they have to make the proceedings available to the other parts of the country. All the stakeholders have a different view of the situation, and they only thing that one can do is to try making them come to a consensus is allowing them to share their proposals and perspectives then negotiating on the best way forward.
The town does not need to change its image; instead, the stake holders should negotiate and come to an agreement on how to handle the situation. In this case, the way forward is to negotiate with the prisons department to make sure that the prisoners change their clothes before leaving the prison premises.
The prisoners should also leave the premises at the time when their bus is ready to leave town so as to stop them from loitering in town. However, the media should also report on the other aspects of the town like the university and businesses.
The shift of focus from the prisons to the university and other will have a negative impact on the economy because many people come to the town to witness the executions which the media advertizes. This is impact can be reversed by the increase in the number of students who come to the university to study.
The people affected by the release of prisoners are the school children and the business people. However, it is better for businesses to lose a little amount of money and ensure the safety of the people.
