Concentrated proposal to deal with Crowded Prisons

Colson and Van Dess provide a short, but loaded analysis of the overcrowding of the penal institutions, and call for basically a two-part solution. Calling prisons "graduate schools in crime" rather than places of rehab and punishment, they suggest nonvilent offenders to pay back society for their rehab and reinstitution among society, while prisons and punishment are withheld for the violent. Thus, overcrowding solved and rehab can occur. Biblical support given, for this God's agenda as well. So relevant to the talk now going on among us with a new national administration taking office.
