I'm not qualified to answer, but I regularly hear the following in the US:
- Not enough (LE|DA|jail) funding or staffing or space.
- "We want to focus on violent crimes". I have a whole rant about this, watching violent criminals/rapists going through revolving doors.
- Use of diversion and "restorative justice" programs, which clearly do not work for certain classes of criminals with very long rap sheets, but here we are.

But they clearly work on others, so they’re probably fine. > Not enough (LE|DA|jail) funding or staffing or space This is a solvable problem if you’re willing to pay taxes on it. I think it’s a good thing because newer facilities and more staff probably leads to more humane treatment of prone in jail. We could also stop routinely jailing people who are awaiting trial, too.
