Empty Prisons – A Must Have

i think the level of human suffering is almost at its worst in prisons , especially when one is an alcoholic or is drug dependant. One of my goals in my lifetime is to help come up with a totally different means by which we can reform our poor-things-so-called criminals without incarcerating them. there is such a huge percentage of people locked up . who are we to do this to anybody . it is not acceptable. there must be a way . it is insane to put huge numbers of people together and lock them up, for years oftentimes. sometimes just because their lawyer messed up , sometimes because of a single casual mistake , sometimes because of an act committed out of dire needs , sometimes mistakes made out of peer influence . some commit crimes of passion on the spur of the moment,purely impulsively. Our justice system needs a complete over haul .
