No, but we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners

Crime can be due to poverty, lack of coping skills, lack of opportunity. So we should focus on improving those things that we can control. I don’t think a person should spend long in prison and nonviolent crimes shouldn’t be felonies for the most part but a person should serve their 3-6 months in prison getting education and skills and then go out into the community and receive wrap around services to help them succeed. After 3 strikes a repeat non violent offender shouldn’t be treated as lenient. Intent and repetitiveness should also matter.
