Policy changes that might reduce prison population and/or recidivism.
to address issues surrounding jailing, release and recidivism.
The United States prison population has tripled since 1980
to the point where the U.S. incarcerates a larger share of its population than
any other country. In addition, about three-fourths of all state prisoners have
been jailed before and, once released, about half will be back in prison within
a few years.
Discuss changes in social policies that you believe might
effectively reduce the prison population and/or the recidivism rate.
