2. Yup, drug policy reform is the first step

A huge percentage of the inmate population is nonviolent durg offenders. Prisons are overcrowded because we send nonviolent drug offenders to prion and often they serve sentences that are longer than those of violent sex offenders.

Once our prisons are not overcrowded and as much of a financial burden I think that will provide an impetus for prison reform.
