Yes, but they should be mandated to attend skill building services and offer education to encourage reform and to help them get back on their feet.
No. I believe that prisons should have on the job training programs within the prisons. This could help prisons to become self sufficient & not rely on tax dollars to fund them.
Yes, and increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners and give them better living conditions
Yes, and they should be provided with resources that will help them to not become repeat offenders
yes, but by making sure they are doing the right thing
Yes, If its not violent its not a crime
Yes, but require therapy for them so they have a place to destress during the change from prison to being out
Yes but with certain restrictions and proper treatment
Yes, fine drug offenders instead of sticking them in jail with violent criminals.
No, but we should remove prisoners convicted of drug related crimes and put them in facilities that help them get clean.
yes, if the crime is minor or with house arrest
I feel we should out them on house arrest and community service though.
Yes, but only after reformative education
Complete prison reform. Remove mandatory minimum sentences.
Yes, and we should increase funding to offer education and skills building services for convicted individuals
Doesn't having this many people out of the work force hinder the economic growth the country could be gaining from having them working full time jobs? Don't we want people back in the workforce instead of becoming a tax burden on the American people who are working full time? How does locking people away help the growth of the nation? Undecided I don't have enough info.
Yes, and placed on probation.
Depends on the crime they committed, if they've changed, and how much time they've left in jail.
On a situation by situation basis
Yes, not to reduce overcrowding but because it's the right thing regardless.
We need to reinstitute the death penalty and figure out a way to reduce the costs.
Depends crime and how much time they have served.
Yes, but they should still be required to perform community service and be subject to drug testing, etc.
Depending on the crime, yes they should if it wasn't anything too severe. They should be required to do community service though.
It depends on the crime committed, not the behavior of the prisoner
No, no matter what they did something to land in jail so it should stay like that. We should make it more rehabilitating.
Depends on the crime, if uts victimless [r only Marijuana then they should be released .
Depending on their crimes and their behavior.
It should be decided on a case by case basis, including factors such as crime committed, time already served, and risk of recidivism.
Yeah but it should be person to person basis
Yes, but place them under house arrest using an electronic bracelet, we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners.
All non violent prisoners should be released
Yes, but they should be required to house in a half-way home and be put on restrictions based on their crimes.
There isnt a definite definition of Violent, a murderer can not act violent in prison but he should not be released regardless of his behavior. They must pay for their crime.
Yes, but need to be sent to different facilities or housing that has educational services set up to help them recover or rehabilitate from the specific crime they have committed, instead up being locked up in a prison that can turn them into the animals they want us to become.
Yes, but Weekly reporting to some official. Job placement or school program to keep them engaged
Yes under normal circumstances, but depending on the impact they had they may need to be observed more closely for safety sake.
Yes, but they must either perform community service or be placed under house arrest using an electronic bracelet until their sentence is finished.
Situationally dependent but yes, so long as they are on parole/probation, wear an electronic bracelet and find employment or perform daily community service.
We should go through each case and chop wood as best as we can in efforts to eliminate biases resulting from a racism, classism, sexism etc
This originated from the systemic racism of our country, our country contains 1/4 of the people on Earth in prison.
yes, unless they are in jail for a sexual offense
No. If we legalize marijuana across the board, the recidivism rate would drop dramatically. Most violent offenders start off with a drug charge. We can mitigate the age of the first offense by doing away with possession charges.
Yes, and we should increase access to alternatives to incarceration like job training, restorative justice practices and programs to connect the incarcerated to (privately funded) social service entities.
Yes. But with monitors and working daily.
Not unless it is completely the best option
Yes but I believe they need to go under a trial to ensure that they are capable of being out back into public life without issue to determine their eligibility of being released on good behavior
No, they are a prisoner for a reason.
Ideally, more efficient prisons should be designed and constructed, funding for prisoner education and skill building should be increased or better used, electronic monitoring established as a safety net, and the former prisoner should give back to their community through daily services. A system or working body can not be totally effective with disproportionately weak and sturdy facets of its foundation.
We need and should strive to achieve a strong and sustainable version of each of the above pillars. So, essentially (though rather narrowly), some non-violent prisoners should be released under electronic supervision and the legal and moral obligation to carry out daily acts of community service.
Yes, but they have to be on parole and stuff.
