I would share this article with an individual involved with corrections. If not many people know about the problem, then it will be harder to fix it. I believe that the article should be shared to people working in the correctional system, especially individual that are high up in the chain of command. If the article is shared enough then I believe we could start seeing changes in our correctional system, so that the future of corrections is brighter.
I agree with the contents of the article; the evidence and the contents are convincing.

There are many problems with overcrowding in our correctional system. The problem talked about in the article contributes to the bigger problem of overcrowding. If we work on getting seniors out of jails and in to homes, then it would benefit the seniors and the correction facilities. The solutions that were talked about were convincing and logical enough to be agreed with. The solutions benefit everyone, because it would be better care for the senior offenders, less money for the facilities, and more money for nursing

homes.
