SOLUTIONS FOR PRISON OVERCROWDING
Currently, the United States accounts for 5 percent of the world’s population but 25 percent of the world’s prisoners. Wikipedia describes “Prison Overcrowding” as follows:

“Prison overcrowding is a social phenomenon occurring when the demand for space in prisons in a jurisdiction exceeds the capacity for prisoners in the place. Prison overcrowding can occur when the rate at which people are incarcerated exceeds the rate at which other prisoners are released or die, thereby freeing up prison space. There is currently ongoing debate whether courts are sentencing criminal offenders to serve prison time and not utilizing other programs like rehabilitation centers effectively.”
