Prison system reform

Prison system reform refers to efforts aimed at improving the conditions and effectiveness of correctional facilities and the justice system. This can include changes such as reducing overcrowding, addressing the root causes of crime, promoting rehabilitation over punishment, ensuring fair treatment of inmates, and reducing recidivism rates. Reform advocates argue that a more humane and rehabilitative approach can lead to better outcomes for individuals and society by helping former inmates reintegrate successfully, thus enhancing public safety and reducing reliance on incarceration. Ultimately, the goal is to create a justice system that is fair, effective, and focused on rehabilitation.
