Bad behavior should be punished with no regard for quotas. It’s a moral thing. Fairness dictates that crime shall be punished. Why should the arbitrary number of jail cells or beds influence how many should be jailed? They must have estimated the wrong number if needed cells. But criminals should not be let off the hook for this miscalculation. The better debate should be whether certain punishments match the crimes themselves or whether certain laws should be removed. We have systems for this. But it should not be selective enforcement of laws to appease a small segment of people who oppose jails in general.
