Reference no: EM133342343

Assignment:

Most states across the country have had decades of "get tough" on crime legislation. However, the last few years we have seen a sharp shift in philosophy due to prison overcrowding and unsurmountable Corrections budgets. Many states are now in the process of trying to identify ways to cut spending and reduce the number of individuals sentenced to prison.

Do you think that cutting state Corrections budgets is the appropriate thing to due based on the current state of the country? If states cut Corrections budgets, how do you feel states should handle crime. If you were selected to sit on a board to address prison overcrowding and Corrections spending, what would your top five suggestions be and why? How do you feel states should balance crime and budgets moving forward?
