With the statistics that you provided in the start of your post, it is quite shocking to see that America has so many prisoners right now. It definitely is cause for concern, and maybe some sort of reform for the prison system. Perhaps some prisoners, who have only committed slight offenses but have still got thrown in prison for it, should have the option for a different way to serve their time. What kind of ideas do you have that could change things for the better?
