Instead of releasing convicts to free up prison space, they should start executing the top tier of violent and trouble making prisoner as required to suit needs. This would serve two purposes. First and most obvious, it does away with the need for more prison space while assuring a cell for every convict. Second, it would make a much better behaved prison population.
Sure it won't be done and is unconstitutional, but who the hell pays any attention to the constitution anymore?
The scary part is they (Obama, Holder, liberal groups, the media, SJW’s) don’t even pretend it’s about prison space, they openly admit they just don’t want that many people in prison (because it’s racist or mean or something).
