Should non-violent prisoners be released from jail in order to reduce overcrowding?
Prison overcrowding is a social phenomenon occurring when the demand for space in prisons in a jurisdiction exceeds the capacity for prisoners.The issues associated with prison overcrowding are not new, and have been brewing for many years. During the United States’ War on Drugs, the states were left responsible for solving the prison overcrowding issue with a limited amount of money. Moreover, federal prison populations may increase if states adhere to federal policies, such as mandatory minimum sentences. On the other hand, the Justice Department provides billions of dollars a year…

Yes, but they should be rehabilitated to adapt to society and be given work opportunities to feed themselves.
Yes, but they should be put in rehabilitation centers instead to avoid them committing the same crime over again. Thus, this implies that they should invest more in rehabilitation centers.
@992WJPLIndependent1yr1Y
Yes, but only if they accept flogging in recompense for the years they owe.
@992K4PN1yr1Y
Depends on how long have they been in jail. Older people are first priority.
No, but we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners AND relocate non-violent prisoners to a center where they perform community service on a daily basis for us to reintegrate them back in our society.
No, but we should build seperate rooms that has a capacity of 4 people
@968VFXT1yr1Y
yes but givee them skill based and education sutff
@968V3BVDemocratic1yr1Y
Yes and perform community service and increase funding to offer education and skill building
@968QTDH1yr1Y
That depends on whether they choose to repeat their crimes again or not.
No, but we should let them serve the consequence of the crime that they commit. But at the same time we should have a thorough examination whether the crime was vicious and inhumane.
@95KTQ4C2yrs2Y
It depends on what crime they are convicted, if a non-violent prisoner is convicted with a pretty serious crime then they should stay in jail
yes... They'll need to released
@935LQR82yrs2Y
Yes, but let them community work for a period of time, and put them on a court-sanctioned probation. Also, increase funding for specialized job trainings for prisoners, so they can get back on their feet after release, and be reintegrated back as productive members of the community.
@92KRLLZIndependent2yrs2Y
Better to fix the justice system first, and focus on rehabilitation.
@926TS272yrs2Y
Yes, but they should work for the government in factories and/or communes
@BMaGuerrero19892yrs2Y
Yes but only for certain low-level crimes. There needs to be a proper rehabilitation and re-integration process for these prisoners so that they do not become repeat offenders.
No because there has a limit year in the jail if you're a prisoner but it depends on his/her case
@8WKGYB52yrs2Y
Yes, but they must perform community service on a daily basis until their sentence expires.
@8WGWMN32yrs2Y
Yes, but must be under house arrest and perform community service daily.
maybe move them in a place where it can be the stage that is ready to realise that will really observe them
yes, because most of the prisoners are also innocent because it has been accused that they are a criminal so they deserve to be released from prison
No, but they should be given manual labor in order to give them something to do while in prison.
@8SYHK6X3yrs3Y
Yes, but must be placed under house arrest and perform community service.
@8RRGJVD3yrs3Y
Yes, but place them under house arrest and only let out to perform daily community service
@8RRGF8B3yrs3Y
Yes, but they should be put under house arrest and only be allowed out to perform daily community service.
@8RQXF9G3yrs3Y
No, but we should "Build more prisons" "Educate the prisoners", but also enhance the security of the prison to prevent riot attempts.
@8RCV5BJ3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they have finished their sentences fairly inside prison
Yes, but transfer them to prison with less or least violence in environment
not released but switch
Yes, but if only they are ready to change now into a better person and if the government can still observe their moves but not that tight.
Yes, but they Must submit the ticket and do processing activity
Yes , I think that people can change and live a better life
Maybe, it depends to the law
@8LVL82B3yrs3Y
Maybe, they can be innocent or they changed
No, we should build more prisons for some reasons that some people that they doing is bad.
No, just put it in the other jail beacuse they can escape easily
@alexanqra3yrs3Y
If they're in prison, some of the community's money will be used to fed those in prison. How 'bout they put those non-violent criminals in an island and let them grow their own crops.
@8L246Z93yrs3Y
Yes, but they should be monitored and should have to do commutiy service to serve for their crime.
it depends if they changed they can go out
Yes, But only if they commit low crime and prove that they change and perform community service daily basis.
Yes, as long as they regret the things they have done.
not all prisoners are violent but still they should be in prison to pay for the crime they did. I believe that the government should improve and build more facilities in prison because it is overpopulated there and they treat the prisoners as animals
Maybe. But not basing to the type of prisoners.
