It's a big order: We'd honestly have to put an actual safety net in for everyone for it to work well, but we can start by treating people like humans, having safe prison environments, and making sure folks have a chance. Change laws so the stupid thing one did at 19 doesn't have lasting effects at 24. Make sure parole officers have flexible hours that allow folks to have jobs. No one should have to commit crimes to pay their fees. It isn't worth looking at the crime rates, as we've never tried. Crime rates are more than just prison, but the right prison system is one avenue to reduce repeat crimes.
