My way of doing that is to simply kill the really bad ones. Then incarceration will go down.

People on the left conveniently forget that most who are incarcerated committed many more crimes before they got caught. The people “who are just in on minor drug charges” are usually there after pleading down from much more severe offenses.

We are the most incarcerated country in the world...
Uh, no. What a lying little fairy.
Best way to cut down on incarceration? Close the borders, round up and deport all illegals.
