Should states find other ways to cut back on spending

Reference no: EM133317809

Question: The biggest growth in the American prison population has come from those convicted of non-violent drug offences. As states face record budget deficits, some have argued that releasing non-violent offenders early will reduce the strain on the prison budget. Does this seem like a reasonable approach, or should states find other ways to cut back on spending? Are there alternative ways to trim state prison spending that do not involve reducing sentences for convicted criminals?
