I suggest you write your congressman with this absolutely brilliant idea!
What's it cost to house a prisoner for a year, Bob? 40K maybe? Mulitplied by 10,000 that's 4 million dollars, and 10,000 jail spaces so we don't have to parole REAL criminals earlier.
How mush does the average worker pay in taxes yearly, Bob? The average income is around 39K, so let's say the average worker pays 8,000 in taxes per year. Multiplied by 10,000, that's pretty close to a Million dollars of lost tax revenue.
Net savings, 5 million dollars a year to government and 10,000 available prison slots to house real criminals.
