Put the following measures in order from best idea to the worst idea to reduce prison overcrowding, based on available evidence. Explain why you selected your “top” choice and your “last resort” choice. 1) Shortening Sentences, 2) Allowing prisoners early release for good behavior and participation in educational and work programs, 3) Developing local programs to keep more nonviolent and first-time offenders active and working in the community, 4) Giving the parole board more authority to release offenders early, 5) Increasing taxes to build more prisons. Discuss and document your opinion with evidence, and be specific in your recommendations. (Evidence can be links to official documents, articles, research, statistics.
