Releasing people convicted of non-violent drug offenses is not enough; it’s important that we provide a smooth ramp to re-join society.
We should wipe their records clean, train them in useful, employable skills, and help them find decent jobs. (Edit: this is the bare minimum; I don’t want to get into direct monetary compensation, even though I think it’s worth considering.)
I would imagine a lot of people formerly-incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses are (rightfully) resentful of society, and we should give them an alternative to committing crimes in order to survive.
