Prisons are a money pit. It costs upwards of $50,000 to house each criminal per year.
Solutions:
-Victimless crimes need to be abolished entirely.
-If a term exceeds 10 years, that person should receive the death penalty. No exceptions. That's $500,000 dollars spent just to house someone who made a conscious decision to willfully break the law.
-Accelerated sentences for those willing to participate in rehabilitation, education, and apprenticeship. Simply, the ones wanting to contribute to society in an admirable way but simply had no means to achieve.
