Agreed. The laws need to be changed. That is the only thing that will unclog the system and reduce the numbers.

But, there’s the hard part. What laws?

Decriminalize marijuana and decriminalize simple possession of harder drugs. That would free a hell of a lot of people, right off the bat. Replace incarceration for possession of harder drugs with treatment programs. Open those treatment programs to anyone who wishes to voluntarily participate.

That right there would take a huge bite out of the prison population.
