Perhaps a good start would be to review exactly what laws were being violated which caused these people to be incarcerated in the first place as well as to why is it that they are still in jail. I can't help but think that in many parts of our country, local municipalities as well a large corporations have discovered that there's lots of money to made in imprisoning a large segment of the population while getting the rest of us to pay them for doing so. If there was a law that only dully elected persons could directly oversee and be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the nations jails and prisons, I suspect that this 'problem' would become much more manageable in terms of both scale and cost.

How do Huff n Puffers suggest we address our burgeoning prison over-population problem?
