Should non-violent prisoners be released from jail in order to reduce overcrowding?

Depends on whether or not they are at high-risk of reoffending. If yes, they are at high risk of re-offending then absolutely not. More prisons should be built or more skill building services should be offered within prisons.

Yea if their crimes are non violent or sexual

Yes and abolish the prison.

Yes, depending on what it is they are serving time for.

Yes and they should be sent to a rehabilitation centres that offer therapy, skill building, education, etc.

This is not a yes or no question

Only if they aren’t pedophiles or rapists. Those people don’t change.

Depends on the crime they committed and their mental state.

We should increase the opportunity for rehabilitation

The prisoners should get support to help them with issues of why they got to prison in the first place. Mental health? Poor socio-economic class? Lack of education? Drugs?

Yes they should be released, but not to reduce overcrowding, they should be released to be rehabilitated

Yes, but provide mandatory rehabilitation for those serving outside of a prison facility.

Yes if they’re given another court hearing to decide.

It depends on what the person is in prison for.

Remove Prisons and rehabilitate prisoners

Yes, and they should be rehabilitated and help out of the system that put them in the cercumstance they were in in the first place.

Yes, but develop more rehabilitation programs for non-violent offenders to prevent reoffending

Depending on the crime they should be allowed to live out in the world but have some sort of check in.

I think they should be released by with a lot of supports. Most people don't commit crimes because they want to be criminals, they commit crimes out of desperation. If they had resources, supports, retraining, optional relocation, etc., it would be better for society to have more people contributing to communities in a positive way than in prison.

Yes, but they should be provided with sufficient rehabilitation

Yes, but place them under the supervision of a probation or parole officer for the remainder of their sentence

The real reason that overcrowding is a problem in prisons is because the prison system is privatized and for-profit. We need to stop unnecessary mandatory minimums and the disproportional incarceration of Black Americans.

Yes, these prisoners should be placed on probation or parole instead and be under the supervision of a probation or parole officer for the remainder of their sentence

Yes, but we should abolish the current prison system in favor of restorative justice system.

Yes to an extent, those who have been convicted because of burglary and drug use should also not be released because they can be dangerous to those in their community

Non-violent "criminals" should not be put in prison at all.
