Overall I think that sentencing needs to come way, way down. Like if the crime you committed was non-violent, I don't even think prison should be on the table. Locking someone up should be considered the nuclear option that is only employed when the rest of the community is at risk, such as for a sexual predator.

We obviously need to re-think something. Prisons are not effective for rehabilitation and barely effective for threats of punishment. There are also way too many people who are threats released while people who aren't really are incacerated... like, someone who has been stealing cars, mugging people, attacking people at bus stops should be held vs. someone who say, did some financial fraud. It's all over the place though.
